Trump considers Iran's "crazy" leaders remaining in power when he leaves office as a "defeat" for him

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would definitely consider the "crazy people in Iran" remaining in power when his term ends as a "defeat." In a phone interview with Salem News Channel's Hugh Hewitt, Trump responded, "Yes, that would be a defeat."

He added: “Yes, I would say that would be a defeat.” When asked what would happen if Iran killed an American official - such as Treasury Secretary Scott Besent, for example - Trump replied: “They would not be around anymore.”

Earlier this week, Pisant moved from his home in Washington, D.C., to a US military base due to alleged Iranian threats to his life.
