John Fetterman blasts new Iranian leader with chilling ‘kill him too’ demand, raising new concerns

Senator John Fetterman has called for Israel to “kill him, too” in reference to Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, raising some serious eyebrows and sparking discussion about his hawkish stance. This demand comes after Mojtaba Khamenei was named to lead Iran on Monday, following the death of his father, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli airstrikes. 

According to The Hill, Fetterman didn’t hold back during an appearance on NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Tonight. He explicitly stated, “Well, they should kill him, too… hopefully he is significantly wounded. And if he does recover, you know, I do absolutely support having Israel to just eliminate him, you know, along with any other parts of the leadership.”
