None whatsoever.”\n\nTrump, who had considered the appointment of Ali Jamenei’s son (deceased in the first US and Israeli attacks on Iran last February 28) as the new head of state unacceptable, also added in the interview that he has another person in mind to lead the country, although he did not add more details.\n\n\n
