Trump says 'would like to meet' Iran leader Khamenei

WASHINGTON, June 3: US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he hopes to meet Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, as Washington and Tehran accuse each other of violating an increasingly fragile ceasefire.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is thought to have been wounded in US-Israeli strikes that killed his father, Ali Khamenei, and has not been seen in public since he was named his successor.

"I would like to meet him, and we probably will meet at some point, depending on how it all works out," the US president told the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast.

Trump added that Khamenei was "involved, absolutely" when asked about the Iranian cleric's health. "I'm not hearing he's doing great," Trump said. "If you believe the stories, he's missing a lot of different parts."    �"AFP
