US ⁠President ​Donald ​Trump said on Monday that he ​believes ‌Iran ⁠wants ‌to make a ⁠deal to end the US-Israeli ​conflict ‌with Tehran, adding it ‌was unclear ​who is speaking for Iran.

"We don't ​know ​their leaders," ​he said, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

Trump added does not know whether Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive, adding that Washington was unclear whom it could negotiate with in Tehran.

"We don't know... if he's dead or not," Trump told reporters.

"A lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured. They're saying that he lost his leg --one leg -- and he's, you know, been hurt very badly. Other people are saying he's dead. Nobody's saying he's 100 percent healthy. You know he hasn't spoken."
