Iran’s New Leader Announced | Trump Blocks Bills Over SAVE Act (Ep 680)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Major developments overnight in the escalating conflict with Iran. U.S. Central Command confirmed that a seventh American service member has died from injuries sustained during Iran’s initial wave of attacks across the Middle East as part of Operation Epic Fury. Meanwhile, Iranian state media reports that Mojtaba Khamenei — the son of slain leader Ali Khamenei — has been named the regime’s next Supreme Leader. The move signals a major power shift inside the Iranian government and could shape the future of the conflict. Back in Washington, President Donald Trump says he will not sign any new legislation until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, a bill aimed at requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
