White House says US reviewing potential candidates to lead Iran

White House says US reviewing potential candidates to lead Iran White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Washington is considering potential candidates to lead Iran, a day after President Donald Trump said the US must be involved in choosing the country’s next leader. “I know there’s a number of people that our intelligence agencies and the United States government are looking at, but I won’t get any further on that,” Leavitt told reporters. Her remarks follow Trump’s statement that there would be no deal with Iran except “unconditional surrender”.
