Trump Says Theres Nobody To Talk To In Iran
President Donald Trump said the United States has nobody to talk to in Iran after three weeks of US-Israeli strikes killed the countrys longtime supreme leader and several other top figures in the government and security apparatus.
Their leaders are all gone. The next set of leaders are all gone, and the next set of leaders are mostly gone. And now, nobody wants to be a leader over there anymore, Trump said at a White House event attended by senior military officers and others on March 20.
Were having a hard time: We want to talk to them and theres nobody to talk to, he said. We have nobody to talk to -- and, you know what, we like it that way.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the first days of the strikes, February 28, and senior figures including Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, have subsequently been killed.
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, chosen to replace his father as supreme leader, has not appeared in public since his appointment. Trump said on March 16 that the US did not know whether he was still alive.
Trump also told his White House audience that Irans navys gone, their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is all gonetheir radars are all gone.

Human rights groups have condemned Iran's hanging of three men in the first executions over January protests and warned they fear more executions to come.
Authorities in Iran are trying "to frighten the public" and keep them in line in order to remain in power, says Mahmoud Amiry-Moghaddam of the Oslo-based Iran Human Rights organization.
