US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would definitely consider the "crazy people in Iran" remaining in power when his term ends as a "defeat."

In a phone interview with Salem News Channel's Hugh Hewitt, Trump responded, "Yes, that would be a defeat."

He added: "Yes, I can say that it would be a defeat. Absolutely."

When asked what would happen if Iran killed an American official - such as Treasury Secretary Scott Besent, for example - Trump replied: "They won't be around after that."

Earlier this week, Picent moved from his home in Washington, D.C., to a US military base due to alleged Iranian threats to his life.
