Piers Morgan asks Mehdi Hasan 7 times if he’s happy Ali Khamenei no longer ruling Iran — but gets no answer: ‘good question’

Piers Morgan asked Mehdi Hasan a whopping seven times in a row whether he was happy that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was no longer ruling Iran after his assassination — but the former MSNBC host refused to answer, calling it a “loaded question.”

During his show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Wednesday, Morgan asked Hasan — the founder of Substack newsletter Zeteo — whether he was glad Khamenei was no longer ruling the nation after joint US and Israeli strikes last month killed the leader and many of his possible successors.

“It’s a good question. I don’t take pleasure in killing anyone. I don’t think you should illegally kill the leader, the foreign leader of a nation,” Hasan replied.

“He wasn’t just a political ruler, he was a spiritual ruler. And to kill him, to assassinate him on day one of the war, will have insane consequences.”

In a long-winded response to the question, Hasan warned that the assassination could lead to “terrorism” and “revenge attacks.”

He tore into the Trump administration’s “Operation Epic Fury,” jibing that the “regime-change war” was a “real high-level success” in replacing Khamenei with his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who is “apparently more hard-lined … than his father.”

“Strategically it’s a disaster, and legally and morally, no, you can’t just kill people you don’t like,” Hasan said. “I don’t like [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu … but I don’t support anyone assassinating him.”

A stunned Morgan replied: “My actual question was brilliantly deflected. My actual question was are you pleased that he’s no longer ruling Iran?”

Hasan gave another rambling answer that delved into the morality of killing foreign leaders, but Morgan insisted he answer his initial question.

After Morgan repeated his question half a dozen times, Hasan said: “No, Piers, it’s not as simple as that!”
