Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday, March 5, that it is still too early to choose a new leader for Iran. Nevertheless, he emphasized that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the former leader of the Islamic Republic, is for him an "unlikely option." Trump also reiterated his previous statements about preventing the continuation of the Islamic Republic's policies in Iran's future, saying, "We want to have a role in the process of selecting the person who will lead Iran in the future. We do not want to be forced to go back there [for war] every five years."

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in a phone conversation on Thursday, March 5, with Reuters, expressed support for Iranian Kurdish opposition groups, encouraging them to launch offensive attacks against the Islamic Republic's security forces. Trump described the motivation of these forces to advance as "great," emphasizing that their ultimate goal should be "victory." In response to a question about the possibility of providing air cover to these groups, he said, "I can't disclose that, but if they want to attack, that would be a good move."
Reuters reported, citing informed sources, that a coalition of Kurdish groups based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq is negotiating with Washington to plan attacks against military forces in western Iran. These groups hope to weaken the armed forces of the Islamic Republic from the ground while heavy airstrikes from the U.S. and Israel are ongoing.
