Iran’s new supreme leader ‘more driven than ever’ to create nuclear bomb after Trump’s strikes, US intelligence fears– www.thesun.co.uk

IRAN’S new Ayatollah is even more determined to develop a nuclear bomb than his late father, Washington fears.

Fresh US intelligence suggests the killing of the former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February has led to the intensification of Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

The Iranian program could bolster President Donald Trump’s case for actioning further strikes in the region.

For years, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s 2003 religious ban on weapons of mass destruction tempered global concern regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.
