Donald Trump's strategy on Iran is "very weird," former international development secretary Rory Stewart has said. Asked whether the US thought assassinating the Iranian supreme leader would have caused the regime to fall, he told Trevor Phillips: "That's clearly something that the US and Israel believed, which is why they killed Ayatollah Khamenei, the former supreme leader, and indeed his daughter-in-law and his wife and the rest of them." He added: "It's a very weird strategy. I'm struggling to think of any historical example where simply by killing the leadership, you spontaneously create a revolution, and it implies that they thought somehow that the Iranian regime was just about five or six people at the top."
