Breaking News : Trump Vows to Shape Iran’s Next Supreme Leader – “I Have to Be Involved” as U.S. Strikes Pave Way for Regime Overhaul!
Washington, D.C. – March 6, 2026 – In a stunning escalation of U.S. involvement in Iran’s power vacuum, President Donald Trump has declared he must personally oversee the appointment of the Islamic Republic’s next Supreme Leader following the de∆th of Ay∆tollah ∆li Kh∆menei amid Operation Epic Fury.
Dismissing frontrunner Mojtaba Khamenei as a “lightweight” and “unacceptable,” Trump warned that installing another hard-liner would drag America back into war with Iran “in five years.” Instead, he’s calling for a leader who brings “harmony and peace” and he’s urging ordinary Iranians to seize the moment.
In a fiery 8-minute video posted last weekend on Truth Social, just as U.S.-Israeli strikes lit up Tehran’s skies, Trump addressed the Iranian people directly: “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” He added, “The hour of your freedom is at hand this will be probably your only chance for generations.”
This comes as Operation Epic Fury the bold U.S.-backed campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, missile bases, and leadership enters its second week, with reports of massive internal unrest and whispers of a people’s uprising. Is this the end of the ay∆tollahs’ iron grip… or the spark for a new Middle East firestorm?

Clearly, the US has not learnt from history. The last time they played a similar game by grooming Osama Bin Laden against the Russians in Afghanistan, the results were catastrophic. Over 3,000 Americans killed in the World Trade Centre bombing in 2001.
In the same way the US nursed the 1979 diplomatic hostage crisis, the Iranians might seek revenge for their humiliation in the distant future. It will be a vendetta.
