Trump says new Iran leader won't last long without his approvalTEHRAN, March 9, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that Iran's next supreme leader would not last long without his approval, as Tehran prepared to reveal the successor to the slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "He's going to have to get approval from us," Trump told ABC News on Sunday, referring to Iran's next leader. Several blasts were heard over Israel's commercial hub of Tel Aviv after the Israeli military said it had detected a salvo of missiles from Iran. Two Israeli soldiers were killed during the fighting in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military said. Trump has suggested Iran's economy could be rebuilt if a leader "acceptable" to Washington replaces the late supreme leader.
