President Trump believes a “large” amount of Iranian leaders have been killed from the U.S.-Israeli strikes today.
In a three-minute phone call with NBC News, the President said “a large number of their leaders have also been killed.”
“I don’t mean like two people,” the President told NBC, without specifying a number. Fox News reported 40 top Iranian leaders were killed.
The U.S. conducted three attacks, which consequently killed a number of Iranian leaders, according to NBC News.

When asked who he believes will replace Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Trump joked, “I don’t know, but at some point they’ll be calling me to ask who I’d like.”
“I’m only being sarcastic when I say that,” he added.
