Khamenei’s son is a lightweight.\n\n\"I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy Rodríguez in Venezuela.\"\n\nHe described Khamenei's son potential succession as \"unacceptable\" and he was looking for someone that brings \"harmony\" and \"peace\" to the country.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Trump said that Iran did want to strike a deal, but said it is \"a little bit late now\".\n\nHe said the US and Israel wanted to fight more than Iran do now, adding the two countries had endured 47 years of \"horror\" from the Islamic Republic.\n\nThe US President called upon the Iranian regime to surrender on Thursday, speaking in front of David Beckham's Inter Miami football team, he said it was time for the pillars of the Islamic Republic's regime to stand down.\n\nHe called on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military and the police to surrender, otherwise they will \"face absolutely guaranteed death\".\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Keir Starmer urges Donald Trump to negotiate with Iran as PM calls for 'de-escalation'\n  * Nigel Farage to meet Donald Trump TODAY as row with Keir Starmer leaves Chagos deal on the brink\n  * ‘Just a question of time!’ Donald Trump hints US may target Cuba after Iran war\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the airstrikes against Tehran on Saturday in a \"joint operation\" between Israel and the US, called \"Mission Epic Fury\", missiles have been launched all over the Middle East, with targets slowly creeping further north west of the region.\n\nThe UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Azerbaijan have been attacked, as well as missiles intercepted against Cyprus, where RAF base Akrotiri is situated on the south of the island.\n\nAccording to the US President, the operation was \"ahead of schedule\".\n\n**_MORE TO FOLLOW..._**\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **",
