US President Donald Trump expressed his desire to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, despite ongoing tensions with Israel.
Speaking with the New York Post's 'Pod Force One' podcast, Trump stated that he believes Khamenei is the one giving final approval in talks with Washington.
The US president's comments come after a heated phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which Trump allegedly used 'foul language'.
Trump also expressed concerns about Khamenei's health, stating that he believes the Supreme Leader was badly injured in US-Israeli strikes.
The exchange highlights the shaky ties between the US and Israel, as the two countries pursue different goals in the region.
