Former US envoy Dan Shapiro warns Trump could attempt an attack on Iran’s Supreme Leader soon.
Former US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, has claimed that President Donald Trump may target Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the coming weeks. Speaking to an Israeli news outlet, Shapiro said Trump plans to confront Iran’s current leadership amid ongoing unrest and protests.
Shapiro highlighted Khamenei’s age and health, noting that at 86, Iran may be due for new leadership. He also indicated that the US could deploy a major naval fleet to the Middle East to prepare for potential strikes and defensive measures. Further attacks against Iranian forces remain a possibility, though no official US response has been issued.
This development comes as Khamenei blamed the US for recent violence and fatalities in Iran. Experts warn that any action could escalate tensions in the Middle East and have wide-reaching geopolitical consequences.
