The US president accused the Islamic Republic\u2019s supreme leader of ingratitude for claiming to have won the standoff with Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has announced having halted plans to potentially ease sanctions on Iran, criticizing the Islamic Republic\u2019s leadership for claiming victory in its recent standoff with Israel.<\/p>\n

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday declared that Iran had triumphed over Israel and the US following 12 days of direct military hostilities. The confrontation began when Israel killed senior Iranian commanders and targeted its nuclear sites. The exchange of long-range strikes culminated in the US intervening with the use of bunker-busting bombs on Iran\u2019s fortified Fordow facility and two other locations.<\/p>\n

In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump \u2013 who had backed Israel\u2019s campaign \u2013 accused Khamenei of \u201cblatantly and foolishly\u201d<\/em> declaring victory, calling the statement \u201ca lie\u201d<\/em> and insisting it was \u201cnot so.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said he had been working in recent days on the possible removal of \u201cbiting\u201d<\/em> US sanctions but reversed course after hearing Khamenei\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more,\u201d<\/em> he wrote.<\/p>\n

Trump, who had earlier claimed that Khamenei would be \u201can easy target,\u201d<\/em> insisted he knew the supreme leader\u2019s exact location during the war but refused to authorize a strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cI SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, \u201cTHANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!\u201d <\/em>he wrote.
<\/em><\/p>\n

He added that he had personally intervened to block a major Israeli airstrike that would have killed \u201cmany Iranians<\/em>,\u201d describing it as \u201cthe biggest attack of the War, by far.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Khamenei had earlier claimed that Iran\u2019s retaliatory strikes left Israel \u201cpractically knocked out and crushed<\/em>,\u201d forcing the US to step in to defend its ally.<\/p>\n

Israel launched a series of airstrikes on June 13 targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as senior commanders and nuclear scientists, in what it described as a mission to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons, maintaining its nuclear activities are peaceful. It has repeatedly criticized the US sanctions as illegal and unjustified.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration moved to restrict Iran\u2019s oil trade as part of its \u201cmaximum pressure<\/em>\u201d campaign reimposed after Washington\u2019s withdrawal in 2018 from the 2015 nuclear deal. Last month, Trump warned that countries buying Iranian oil or petrochemicals would face secondary sanctions.<\/p>\n

Moscow denounced the US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran as \u201cillegitimate<\/em>\u201d and a violation of international law. Commenting on the ceasefire announced by Trump on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that it \u201ccan and should be welcomed<\/em>.\u201d Moscow hopes it \u201cproves to be sustainable<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
