Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ali Khamenei, as its new supreme leader. Just days earlier, Donald Trump warned that if Mojtaba became Iran's next leader, it would be "unacceptable". Yet the outcome he feared has already happened.

History has shown that removing a leader rarely ends a conflict.
- The US removed the Taliban government in 2001. Twenty years later, the Taliban returned to power.
- Iraq and Libya offer similar lessons — regime change did not bring stability, but years of turmoil.
If the conflict with Iran escalates further, Washington risks being pulled once again into the Middle East's endless wars.

On March 8, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for an immediate ceasefire, stressing that Middle Eastern affairs should be decided by regional countries independently.

Because history has already shown one thing: You can remove a leader overnight, but you cannot bomb your way to stability.
