Host Brian Kilmeade said he spoke with the President after the announcement.

‘I’m not pleased,’ Trump told him.

Kilmeade did not provide further details about the conversation, and Trump has not yet made a public statement.

 

The Iranian Leadership Council, the body responsible for selecting the country’s Supreme Leader, last night, by a large majority, elected Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei as the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Tasnim agency reported.

The Assembly of Experts emphasized the importance of continuity in leadership and the need to respect the Constitution and internal rules in the process of selecting a leader, so that the state would not be left without governance.

The election of Mojtaba Khamenei was carried out in accordance with the principles of Islamic law and the Constitution, and the Assembly of Experts calls on all citizens and the elite of society to give loyalty to the new leader and preserve the unity of the state,’ the statement said.”

The new Supreme Leader of Iran was chosen after the previous leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed at the beginning of the U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.

 

“Mojtaba is considered a continuation of his father’s legacy and hardline rule. Trump previously said that the appointment of Khamenei’s son would be ‘unacceptable,’ adding that the new Iranian leader would surely not ‘last long’ if the appointment is not coordinated with Washington.

‘They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a “small fish,”’ Trump was quoted as saying by the U.S. portal Axios.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said last week that whoever is chosen as Khamenei’s successor would be ‘a target for elimination’.
