Trump Calls for US Role in Choosing Iran's Next Leader, Backs Kurdish Attacks

US President Donald Trump stated that the US should be involved in choosing Iran's next leader and described the prospect of Iranian Kurds attacking Iranian security forces as “fantastic.” He encouraged the Kurds to launch attacks, stating he would fully support them. Trump drew a parallel to the situation in Venezuela, where the US supported a change in leadership. These statements were made in a phone interview with Reuters, as the war in the region has caused over 1,000 casualties.
