WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 13 /SRNA/ – The USA may have gone too far in Iran by eliminating the entire Iranian leadership, as Washington now does not know whom it should be dealing with, US President Donald Trump said.

"They have no leadership now, which is a problem. Perhaps we went too far with the leadership; we don't know who we're dealing with now," Trump said in an address to Republican Party supporters in Ohio.

The USA and Israel launched an operation against Iran on 28 February. The hostilities were briefly suspended in June but resumed on 8 July, TASS reminded.
