Five days ago, the United States military conducted a strike in Iran, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and ended his 36-year rule.

The strikes in Iran have prompted a war in the Middle East, as Iran fires off rockets and mortars into neighbouring Gulf Countries in retaliation.

Today, Trump revealed that the likely successor to Khamenei is his son, Mojtaba – but that if he were appointed, it would be unacceptable.
