United States President Donald Trump has described a deepening leadership crisis in Iran, stemming from recent US military strikes that have eliminated multiple top officials, as he recounted challenges in identifying negotiators during the escalating 2026 US-Iran conflict.
Speaking at a rally, Trump painted a picture of disarray in Tehran’s power structure.
“Leaders are all gone, too,” he said.
“It’s part of our problem. We don’t know who the hell we’re dealing with. They call up, this is Mohammed so-and-so and I say… ‘Are you a leader? We’re looking for a leader.’ It’s the only country in the world nobody wants to be a leader. They say, ‘Would anybody like to be president?’ And there are no takers.”
