WASHINGTON, Mar 8: President Donald Trump, in an ABC News interview, reiterated that he wants a say in who comes to power in Iran once the war is over, warning anew that the new leader “is not going to last long” if the person doesn’t have his approval.
Trump also expressed openness to someone with ties in the current regime.
