JERUSALEM – Shortly after President Donald Trump wrapped up his trip to the Middle East, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched a verbal attack against the United States and Israel. He accused Trump of being dishonest and urged for the annihilation of the Jewish state.
Khamenei stated, “Trump claimed he aims for peace through power. That’s a lie,” also adding, “Some of the comments made by the US President during his visit to the region are too insignificant to even merit a response. The quality of those comments is so poor that they bring shame upon the American people.”
The United States has classified Iran as a state that supports terrorism since the 1980s. The vehemently anti-Western and anti-Semitic ayatollah labeled Israel—Washington’s main ally in the Middle East—as a “malignant tumor” that needs to be eradicated.
According to the Trump administration, Khamenei’s regime is the world’s leading state-sponsor of antisemitism.
During his trip to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Trump called Iran’s regime the main force of instability in the Middle East.
“The biggest and most destructive of these forces is the regime in Iran, which has caused unthinkable suffering in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen and beyond, “said Trump in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Alireza Nader, a Washington, D.C., expert on Iran’s regime, told Fox News Digital that Iran “has been dealt a severe military setback by Israel, and the Iranian public desires the regime’s overthrow. President Trump has an overwhelming advantage in the negotiations and could severely restrict and limit the regime’s nuclear program.”
Trump said he wants a deal with Iran to stop its illegal nuclear weapons program. In his speech, Trump told Iran that it must abandon its drive to build an atomic bomb.
“While you have been constructing the world’s tallest skyscrapers in Jeddah and Dubai, Tehran’s 1979 landmarks are collapsing into rubble,” Trump said. “[Iran’s] corrupt water mafia . . . causes droughts and empty riverbeds. They get rich.”
