Tehran: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has accused former US President Donald Trump of lying about using American power to promote peace, describing the claim as "a disgrace" to both Trump and the American nation. Khamenei made the remarks during a public event with teachers in Tehran on Saturday, as reported by Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
Referring to Trump’s recent statements during a tour of West Asia, Khamenei said: “Trump said he wants to use power for peace; he lied. He and other US officials have used power to support killings in Gaza and to spread warmongering wherever possible.”
The Iranian leader also reiterated his long-standing hostility towards Israel, labeling it “the Zionist regime” and “a dangerous and malignant cancerous tumour in this region that must and will be uprooted.”
Khamenei expressed confidence that the United States would eventually be forced to withdraw from the region, citing the resolve of regional nations. His comments were published on his official website and carried by various state-linked media outlets, including China’s Xinhua news agency.
Earlier in the week, Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates as part of a regional tour. In Riyadh, he criticized Iran as “the most destructive force” in the Middle East and pledged to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Trump also signaled he would not return to the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, from which he withdrew in 2018. In response, Iran began rolling back its compliance with the accord.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed on Saturday that while Iran will not abandon its right to a peaceful nuclear programme, it remains committed to sincere negotiations with the US. Both countries have engaged in four rounds of indirect talks, with mediation efforts led by Oman.
