President Donald J. Trump has told CBS News that he believes todayโ€™s attacks by Israel and the United States against Iran, which resulted in the death Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been effective and could create a pathway to diplomacy, stating that negotiations could be, โ€œMuch easier now than it was a day ago, obviously - because they are getting beat up badly.โ€

President Trump further said that โ€œthere are some good candidates" to lead Iran in the wake of Khameneiโ€™s death but did not elaborate on who those candidates could be. Adding that Iranโ€™s relation so far has been less than they initially believed, โ€œIt's what we expected,โ€ Trump said of the retaliatory response, but he noted that Iran's attacks so far are less than what the U.S. and its allies anticipated prior to the start of Operation Epic Fury.
