Trump Reportedly Open To Killing New Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei If He Doesn't Cave To U.S. Demands

President Donald Trump said he is open to the killing of new Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, should he not be willing to cede to U.S. demands, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal.

Trump had already told Fox News that he was "not happy" with the anointment of Khamenei. He had called him a "lightweight," and an "unacceptable" choice to lead the country, reiterating that he would want to be involved in the choice and has someone else in mind to lead the country.

Elsewhere, Trump told CBS News that the war could be over soon. "I think the war is very complete, pretty much," he said, noting that the country has "no navy, no communications, they've got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter."

"Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones," he added. "If you look, they have nothing left. There's nothing left in a military sense." Oil prices dropped and stocks surged following the remarks.

Prices had surged overnight between Sunday and Monday with no end to the war in sight. Moreover, the Tehran regime threatened to drive oil prices above $200 per barrel if the U.S. and Israel continue hostilities.

A spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that it is "expected that the governments of Muslim countries will swiftly warn the criminal U.S. and the savage Zionist regime against such cowardly anti human actions so that the flames of fire and war do not spread further."

"Otherwise, similar actions will occur in the region, and if you can tolerate oil prices above $200 per barrel, continue this game," the spokesperson added.

Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy and a former energy adviser of George W. Bush, said the war has caused the largest oil disruption in history, taking out about 20% of the world's supply, double the previous record during the Suez Crisis in the 1950s.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday an "international mission" to address the issue and escort ships across the Strait of Hormuz to help reopen the key waterway. He noted that operations would be "purely defensive."
