Trump Supports Israeli Operation Targeting Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei Amid Global Tensions

Trump Signals Support for Israeli Operation Against Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei

Post by : Shakul

US President Donald Trump has indicated he would support an Israeli‑led operation to eliminate Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if he refuses to meet US demands. The remarks come after Mojtaba, the second son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was chosen to lead Iran, sparking global controversy and increasing tensions in the Middle East.

Trump Criticizes Mojtaba Khamenei’s Appointment

Trump described Mojtaba as “unacceptable” and suggested he may not be able to “live in peace” without complying with US conditions. While Tehran insists the succession is an internal matter, the US leader’s statements highlight growing US-Iran friction.

Israeli Forces Expected to Lead Any Operation

US and regional officials indicate that any targeted strike against Mojtaba would likely be carried out by Israeli forces, similar to the earlier operation that killed his father on February 28 in coordinated US-Israeli air raids.

Global Reactions and Rising Tensions

Mojtaba Khamenei’s rapid rise has divided international opinion. Russia and China have offered diplomatic support, while Western nations remain sceptical. Analysts warn that Trump’s backing of an Israeli operation could escalate an already volatile Middle East conflict.
