Trump warns: Whoever aims to lead Iran ends up dead

I think that if we hadn't done it first, they would have done it to Israel and maybe against us, if possible,” said Trump during a event at the White House, describing the war as “an amazing thing happening in front of your eyes. ”

“We're going very well in front of the war, to put it gently,” said Trump from the White House. I'd say someone asked on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you evaluate it? I said about 15. ”

His assessment coincided with that of other administration officials who gave up updates on the conflict Wednesday.

The president said Iran's “missiles are being destroyed quickly, their launchors are being destroyed.” He acknowledged Iran's attacks on neighbours, but did not stop long, Panorama reported.

They're attacking their neighbors. They're attacking, in some cases, their allies, or former allies. And, you know, there was a nation that was out of control”, he added.

He also suggested again that there is no idea who can lead Iran after the assassination of its top leaders: their “leadership is leaving very quickly,” he said. “Anyone who seems to want to be a leader ends up dead. ”
