Trump says it is unclear who is governing Iran

The U.S. president called uncertainty over Iran’s leadership his main problem during a speech in Maryland.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, October 6, that he did not know who was currently governing Iran. CNN Brasil reported the remarks from a campaign speech in Maryland.

“The second tier of their leaders is gone, and the biggest problem I have is that nobody knows who is governing the country,” Trump said. This reflects the president’s assessment; the report did not provide independent confirmation of the composition of Iran’s leadership.
