President of the UnitedStates  Donald Trump has warned that whoever will be Iran's new top leader "won't last long"unless he gets the approval of USA.

"Ifthat doesn't happen, it won't last long, "Trump told ABC, the day the Iranian clergy decided who will succeed the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.



"We want to make sure that when I'm not here, the US will not have to take responsibility for Iran every ten years," the US president said.

As he has advanced these days, he would be willing to accept a candidate linked to Khamenei, "if he is a good leader," "and there are many people capable of doing so," Trump added. However, on the day Israel killed the supreme leader, the US advanced that "a number of leaders who are the right candidates to be ayatollahs also died in the attacks."



The quinielas for the succession of Khamenei included the son of Mojtaba, the advisers Asghar Hijazi, Ali Lariyani, and Sadiq Lariyani, and the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic.
