Trump’s attack on Khamenei’s leadership
“The best decision Khamenei ever made was his decision not to execute more than 800 people,” Trump said. He said that Khamenei has taken Iran under his control through violence and repression. Trump further said that Iran’s leadership is not being run through respect, but through fear and death, which is not good for any country.
Khamenei’s counterattack
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei hit back at Trump’s statement and held him responsible for the deaths and protests in Iran. Khamenei termed Trump a criminal and said that Trump is responsible for whatever is happening in Iran. Khamenei also said that they had completely destroyed the conspiracies in Iran.
