"I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy in Venezuela. Khamenei's son is unacceptable to me. The attack knocked out most of the candidates — they are all dead."
The president of the United States told Reuters he was personally selecting Iran's next supreme leader — and named Venezuela as the model, where he personally installed Delcy Rodriguez after capturing Maduro in January. 'The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,' he added. This is an empire selecting governments. It was covered as a war update.
