‘No Thanks’: Trump Claims No One In Iran Wants To Be The Supreme Leader
Trump’s Claim
“There’s never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. We hear them very clearly. They say, ’I don’t want it. We’d like to make you the next supreme leader.’ No, thank you. I don’t want it.” Trump said at the annual National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) fundraising dinner.
Iran has elevated Mojtaba Khamenei as the supreme leader following the assassination of his father, the former Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei.
