WASHINGTON, March 8 - United States President Donald Trump said the United States should participate in the process of choosing the future political leadership in Iran to prevent a recurrence of military conflict between the two countries. He said the aim is to prevent the situation from escalating into another confrontation every few years. Donald Trump made the statement while speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., where he commented on the future relations between the United States and Iran. The US president stressed that long-term stability in the Middle East requires a change in political approach and the emergence of leadership in Iran that will not move towards military conflict.

„We don't want to go back every five or 10 years and do this,“ Trump told reporters. „We want to pick a president of Iran who will not lead his country into war,“ he added. The president said Iran's future leader should be prepared to negotiate with the United States and other international partners on security issues and stabilizing the region.

Trump's words immediately attracted the attention of diplomatic circles and political analysts. The statements suggest the possibility of greater US interference in the internal political developments in Iran. Tehran has long described such moves as unacceptable interference in its sovereign affairs. Relations between Washington and Tehran have been strained for decades and have repeatedly been on the brink of open conflict. The disputes relate primarily to Iran's nuclear programme, Iran's regional policy in the Middle East and its support for armed groups in the region. At the same time, the United States is applying extensive economic sanctions against Iran.

Analysts warn that Trump's remarks may be part of a broader strategy by the US administration to change the security architecture in the Middle East. However, Washington's involvement in political developments in Iran could spark further tensions not only with Tehran but also with other states in the region.

Iranian officials have not yet commented on the US President's remarks. However, the Iranian leadership has repeatedly stressed in the past that only the Iranian people and the country's political institutions can decide the future direction of the country. The future course of relations between the United States and Iran thus remains uncertain. However, Trump's words suggest that the question of Iran's political leadership may be one of the key issues in international diplomacy and security debates in the future.
