Trump tells Reuters US will have a role in choosing Iran's next leader

U.S. President Donald Trump told ‌Reuters in a telephone interview on Thursday that the United States will have a role in choosing Iran's next ⁠leader.

Trump said it was very early in the process of picking a new leader but that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son Mojtaba was an unlikely choice.

"We want to be involved in the ‌process ⁠of choosing the person who is going to lead Iran into the future," Trump said.

"We don't ⁠have to go back every five years and do this again and ⁠again ... Somebody that's going to be great for the people, ⁠great for the country."
