Iran on Saturday condemned United States President Donald Trump's remarks on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a day after the latter delivered a victory speech.
Trump's remarks on Khamenei came after the latter said that the US President had “exaggerated events in unusual ways".
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi cautioned Trump, saying that if he wishes to reach an understanding with the Supreme Leader, he would need to “set aside” his tone.
“If President Trump truly wishes to reach an agreement, he should set aside his disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards the Iranian supreme leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of sincere supporters,” Araghchi said in a post on social media platform X.
Trump's remarks on Khamenei came after the latter, in his first speech after the announcement of the ceasefire understanding, said that the US President had “exaggerated events in unusual ways”, while adding that he needed the “exaggeration” .The Supreme Leader also claimed that the “the Islamic republic won”, and said that this had dealth “a severe slap to the face of America".
Hours prior to Araghchi's statement, Trump took to Truth Social, saying that he had “saved” Khamenei from an “ugly" death. “I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH,” Trump said in the post.
The US President questioned Khamenei's declaration of victory in the war against Israel, asking why the Supreme Leader had “blatantly and foolishly” said that he won the war. "…when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie,” Trump said.
He said that Iran had been “decimated”, adding that the country's three “evil nuclear sites” had also been “obliterated. Trump claimed that he had knowledge of “exactly” where Khamenei was sheltered, further saying that he had not allowed Israel and the US armed forces to take his life.
