Trump says Iran ‘made a big mistake’ choosing Mojtaba Khamenei

US President Donald Trump said Iran “made a big mistake” by selecting Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader after his father was killed in a US-Israeli attack.

Speaking to NBC News, he reiterated earlier remarks in which he described the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “lightweight”.

Trump also said it was “too soon to talk about” seizing Iran’s oil, but added that he does not rule out the possibility.
