Sen. John Fetterman says Iran’s new Ayatollah Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei should be assassinated

In a bold statement, Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, has urged Israel to target and assassinate Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader along with the entire leadership of the regime. This call comes as the new leader has yet to make a public appearance.

During an interview with NewsNation on Wednesday, Fetterman specifically named Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, who has taken over as Iran’s supreme leader following the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Fetterman expressed unequivocal support for the assassination, stating that the world is “100%” better off without the elder Khamenei.

Since his appointment by Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts on Sunday, the new supreme leader has remained out of the public eye. He also did not attend a rally in Tehran that was meant to celebrate his new position. Iranian authorities have claimed that he sustained injuries during a series of airstrikes conducted by the United States and Israel on February 28.

“He hasn’t been able to release a video or make any public appearances. Why is that?” questioned Fetterman. “It’s possible he is severely injured, making it difficult for him to appear on camera.”

Fetterman went on to express hope that the injuries are significant. “If he does recover, I fully support Israel taking decisive action to eliminate him and the rest of the leadership,” he concluded.

“Hopefully, he is significantly wounded. And if he does recover, I do absolutely support having Israel just eliminate him, along with any other members of the leadership.”

“I’m always going to support that,” the senator added.

Fetterman also said President Trump gave Iran the opportunity to negotiate an end to the war — which they declined — and “avoid all of these things.”

The Iranian president rejected Trump’s call for the country’s unconditional surrender Friday and later scoffed at the proposal as a “dream.”

The supreme leader sits at the center of Iran’s Shiite theocracy with final authority over state affairs and serves as commander-in-chief of the military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a paramilitary force the US designated a terrorist organization in 2019.

While Khamenei has yet to appear in public, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said online Thursday the war could end if Iran’s “legitimate rights” are recognized, reparations are paid and guarantees against future attacks are put in place.

Trump has repeatedly warned Tehran not to pick a new leader without his approval, blasting Khamenei as an “unacceptable” candidate.

Trump dismissed Iran’s new leader as a “lightweight,” saying he “is not going to last long” without his approval.

Despite the commander-in-chief’s warning, thousands rallied Monday to celebrate Khamenei’s rise as Iran’s new supreme leader — but the cleric himself was a no-show, represented only by a portrait smaller than the towering image of his father.

Observers believe he may be more seriously wounded than Iranian officials are admitting — or hiding out in fear.

“It’s either he’s out cold in a hospital, or he’s scared and hiding in the deepest bunker they have after seeing his dad be turned into red mist,” Khosro Isfahani, the research director for the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI) think tank, told The Post.

Isfahani said Khamenei lacks public support and was elevated to the role largely because of pressure from the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), adding that “He has the charisma of a boiled potato.”
