Trump says Iran's new leader was seriously wounded in recent unrest

WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran's new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was seriously wounded in recent events in Iran, describing the situation as a form of regime change. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the younger Khamenei differed from his father and showed a degree of courage, though he noted he had not yet met the new Iranian leader. Trump said the U.S. naval blockade was the main factor bringing Iran to the negotiating table. He suggested that the draft agreement under discussion could amount to "unconditional Iranian surrender," without elaborating on specific terms. The U.S. president also warned that a prolonged war could trigger a global economic slowdown. No further details on Iran's response or the timeline of the alleged negotiations were immediately available.
