Iran's Supreme Chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday ridiculed US President Donald Trump's claims that Washington destroyed Iran's nuclear services, dismissing the assertion as delusional and branding Trump's Gaza peace efforts as “empty discuss and Zionist bravado.”In a collection of posts on X (previously Twitter), Khamenei struck a defiant tone in opposition to the US and Israel, responding to Trump's latest remarks that Iran's nuclear ambitions had been “worn out” following US strikes in June.
“The President of the US boasts that we bombed and destroyed Iran's nuclear trade. Very effectively, preserve dreaming!” Khamenei wrote.In one other submit, he lashed out at Trump's go to to Israel, calling it a hole try and bolster what he described as a demoralised Zionist regime.“My tackle the US President's journey to occupied Palestine is that he went there with a load of empty discuss and Zionist bravado to cheer up and enhance the morale of the disheartened Zionists,” Khamenei stated. “Within the 12-day warfare, they obtained such a slap that they couldn't imagine it, didn't anticipate it, and have been left completely demoralised.”Khamenei's remarks got here after Trump instructed reporters on the White Home that Tehran was “making an attempt to outlive” and would face renewed US strikes if it tried to rebuild its nuclear programme. “Right now, Iran is making an attempt to outlive,” Trump stated. “After I heard the stories two weeks in the past, Iran is seeking to construct a nuclear weapon. I stated, don't fear about it… earlier than they obtained even shut, that web site could be attacked and it could be worn out.”The trade underscores renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran after Trump's ultimatum earlier this yr demanding that Iran halt all uranium enrichment. Tehran denies searching for a nuclear weapon, insisting that its enrichment actions are for peaceable functions.Trump's feedback coincided with rising instability in Gaza, the place his administration has pushed a 20-point peace plan following years of battle between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire, brokered with US mediation, has been marred by violence, with Israeli strikes killing dozens over the weekend regardless of assurances that the truce remained intact.
