US President Donald Trump has told a US news outlet he wants to be involved in picking Iran's next leader.  

He's told Axios that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son is a lightweight and unacceptable to him.  

Meanwhile, the death toll in Iran has risen to 1200, multiple Gulf countries are continuing to intercept missiles, and in Azerbaijan, an airport and a school were hit by Iranian drones. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Iran is firing fewer drones and missiles as the US and Israeli forces expand their control of the air and sea. 

He says the Pentagon says they’re finding and destroying Iran’s mobile missile launchers.
