Trump Sees Khamenei's Son as Unacceptable for Iran Former President Donald Trump has privately expressed skepticism about the idea of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, playing a key role in Iran's government or international relations, according to people familiar with his views. Axios reported that Trump believes Mojtaba, who is said to have significant influence over his father's decisions, would be an unacceptable choice for any position of power. The report suggests that Trump's concerns stem from his perception that Mojtaba has too much sway over Iran's foreign policy and has been involved in controversies such as the detention of dual nationals. This stance is reportedly shared by some members of Trump's inner circle, who have expressed reservations about Mojtaba's ability to negotiate effectively with world leaders. Mojtaba Khamenei has been increasingly visible on the international stage in recent years, accompanying his father on high-profile visits and meeting with foreign dignitaries. His involvement in Iran's political landscape has sparked concerns among some experts who fear that he may be using his influence to further his own interests at the expense of more moderate factions within the Iranian government. Trump's views on Mojtaba are said to have developed over time, as he became increasingly frustrated with what he perceives as Khamenei's intransigence on issues such as Iran's nuclear program and its support for proxy groups in the Middle East. The former president has long been critical of Khamenei's leadership style, which he sees as authoritarian and unyielding. The Axios report highlights Trump's ongoing antipathy towards Khamenei, who has been a thorn in his side since the early days of his presidency.
