Trump says he is ‘disappointed’ that Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran’s supreme leader

DORAL, Florida, ‌March 9 (Reuters) - ​U.S. President Donald Trump said ⁠on Monday he was "disappointed" that Iran named ​Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed ‌his slain father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the ⁠supreme leader ⁠of the country.

"We think it's going to lead to just more ‌of the same problem ⁠for the ‌country," Trump ​told reporters at a press conference in Florida.

When ‌asked whether ​the new ⁠leader had a ‌target on ⁠his back, Trump said it would be "inappropriate" to ​say whether ‌or not he does.
