US President Donald Trump issued a sharp warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday, announcing he has scrapped plans to ease sanctions and is weighing new military action if Tehran continues uranium enrichment at dangerous levels.
Trump’s remarks followed Khamenei’s first public statement on the recent 12-day conflict with Israel, which ended last weekend after US airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities.
In a defiant speech, Khamenei claimed Iran had "slapped America in the face" by striking a major US base in Qatar and vowed the country would "never surrender."
Responding forcefully, Trump said he had personally spared Khamenei’s life, referencing a June 15 Reuters report in which US officials revealed Trump had blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate the Iranian leader.
