President Donald Trump said this week that the US knows where Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is, but they will not kill him “at least not yet”. His statement came when Israel launched fire attacks on Iran, suggesting the possibility of “collapse of dictatorship” or changing the regime in the Islamic nation.
Trump wrote in the social media post: “We know exactly where the so -called” highest leader “is hidden. It’s an easy goal, but it’s safe there – we won’t take it at least for your attention for now! ”
Last week, several reports indicated that Trump vetoed the Israeli plan to kill Khamenei. Three American officials said it CBS news that Trump opposed the recent Israeli plan to kill Iranian Supreme Leader. Trump also delayed the decision to bomb Iranian nuclear places.
But why doesn’t Trump don’t want to kill the Iranian Supreme Leader or a “regime change” in Iran?
1. “Iran becomes like Libya”
Confirmed President Trump over the bombing of Iran could be caused by his concerns about creating a “other Libya” if the highest leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the administration informers told New York Post. One source close to the administration said he also mentioned Afghanistan and Iraq.
Trump “He does not want (Iran) to turn into Libya,” said one initiate familiar with the actions of the US administration of a potential connection to the Israeli air strike against the Iranian nuclear program.
According to the Trump report, in recent days, he specifically mentioned the Libyan decade of long forfeiture into the anarchy in 2011-Poté, which the US joined the NATO bomber campaign for the release of dictator Muammar Gaddafi-three resources close to administration.
“Libya was a much more widespread type of bombing, and eventually it was a change in the regime,” the fifth source remarked.
The source that heard the President directly mentioned the comparison, said there were two reasons why Trump talks about Libya: “The first is the chaos after we did Gaddafi. The second intervention was made more difficult by negotiations with countries like North Korea and Iran.”
2. “Someone worse than Khamenei could come
One source reportedly said that the president seems “most inclined to order limited air strikes to complete Iranian nuclear devices in Ford and Natanz …”
“If the regime falls (in Iran), then it is not up to Trump, because it is not the goal of his very limited strike,” said The Post. The source mentioned concern that “someone worse than khamenei.”
3. “Chances of negotiations”
The printing secretary of the White House Karoline Leavtt said on Thursday afternoon that Trump settled before he decided to join Israel’s strokes, “Based on the fact that there is a considerable chance of negotiations that may or may not be held with Iran in the near future.” ““ “” ”
4. Inner dispute
Telegraph said that Khamenei’s death could lead to a vacuum in the heart of the government that could trigger internal disputes, creating opportunities for Iranian countless ethnic minorities. This could “potentially ignite local conflicts that could be spirals into a wider civil war,” the report added.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Choir (IRGC), who was afraid of such a result, could also try to entertain power and turn Iran into a theocratic military dictatorship. Any such result would risk chaos in the global oil markets, one of the reasons why traders are so concerned about the fate of the highest leader, the report added.
