Trump Claims to Have Potential Candidates to Lead Iran

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that he possesses a list of potential candidates to lead Iran, following what he described as an unprecedented offensive against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking to *The New York Times*, Trump stated he had "three very good candidates" in mind for the leadership role. However, he refrained from disclosing their identities, saying, "I won’t reveal them now. Let’s get the job done first.”

Trump indicated that the United States had struck hundreds of targets, including facilities belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, air defense systems, nine ships, and a naval headquarters.

He affirmed that combat operations are ongoing and will continue until all objectives are met. He noted that three U.S. soldiers had been killed and suggested that further casualties among American forces were likely.

Trump cautioned that the Iranian regime, armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons, poses a grave threat to every American, asserting that the United States would avenge its fallen soldiers.
