JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump assessed that after the war ended, it was better for Iran to be led by a domestic figure than the son of Iran's last shah, Reza Pahlavi.

"He [Pahlavi] seems like a very nice person. But in my opinion, someone from within may be better to take over," Trump told reporters during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House, US, Tuesday, March 4, quoted by Al Jazeera.

Trump also said that the worst-case scenario after the US-Israeli joint attack on Iran was the birth of a new leader like the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He considers such leaders to be bad.

"I guess the worst-case scenario is, we do this, and then somebody takes over just as bad as the previous person, right?" Trump said.

"It can happen. We don't want it to happen," he said.

Reza Pahlavi is known to have been exiled with his daughter living in Los Angeles, USA. His family continues to want to change the format of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is grateful when the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, dies.
