President Donald Trump is wondering who is leading Iran.
“Their leaders are gone, their second group of leaders are gone, and the biggest problem I have is nobody knows who the hell is running the country,” Trump said Tuesday as the US-Israeli war is currently in its eighth month.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Sunday Washington knows very well who its counterpart is in Iran and how the country’s decision-making system works.
“The problem is actually the opposite: it lies in the contradictory positions and mixed messaging from U.S. officials,” Baghaei said.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed Wednesday they attacked military sites and airports in Saudi Arabia. However, Houthis did not provide evidence of the attack.
