Donald Trump has made a startling claim, alleging that Iran once considered offering him the position of supreme leader, a role currently held by figures within the Islamic Republic’s highest clerical authority. Speaking at a Republican gathering in Washington, Trump said he declined the supposed offer, insisting he had no desire for such power. The claim, however, has not been acknowledged or confirmed by officials in Iran, leaving analysts questioning the context and credibility behind the statement. The remarks come at a time of heightened tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel. Trump also voiced discontent over the reported rise of Mojtaba Khamenei, while referencing discussions with Benjamin Netanyahu on regional strategy.
