By Maha El Dahan DUBAI, March 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will bring about a diplomatic conclusion to the war with Iran "in his time", and Tehran must halt attacks on its neighbours before they can mediate, one of the UAE's top diplomats said in an interview on Friday.

Trump posted on social media shortly after midnight in Washington. Iran's longtime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other top figures in Tehran have been killed since the war was launched by the United States and Israel on February 28.

Hegseth claims Iran's leader is 'likely disfigured' The US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed that Iran's new supreme leader is "wounded" and "likely disfigured" in a press conference at the Pentagon. Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the last supreme leader Ali Khamenei, has not been seen since his election to the position on Sunday throwing doubts on his ability to lead the regime long-term. Hegseth also said that Iran no longer has a functioning air force, air defence or navy, and that its missile reserves were down 90 percent arguing that the US is "decimating" Iran's military capabilities.
