Former CIA Director and retired US Army General David Petraeus told Euronews he believes US President Donald Trump could accept a Venezuela-like situation, where a moderate figure from Iran's existing regime seeks to “get along” with the US, following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening wave of joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
“The possibility is there that someone could emerge who might say, look, Mr President, you’re right. What the nuclear programme, the arming of proxies and our killing of Americans, Arabs and Israelis has brought us is ruin. And we see the error of our ways, and we want to sail straight, we want to get along with our neighbours and with you," Petraeus said in an interview with Euronews’ 12 Minutes With.
