'I Saved Him From Ugly Death’ Donald Trump Castigates Khamenei And His 'Won the War’ Claim, Iranian Foreign Minister Reacts Strongly

In a scathing post on X (formerly Twitter), Donald J. Trump lashed out at Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejecting his statement that Iran had “won the war with Israel.” Trump dismissed the claim as a lie, accusing the Ayatollah of misleading his people and disparaging the faith he claims to represent.

“Why would the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’… say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie?” Trump said.

Trump further claimed that his own actions prevented a large-scale attack: he “saved him from a very ugly and ignominious death” by halting Israeli planes bound for an assault on Tehran. He alleged the Iranian leadership destroyed “three evil nuclear sites” and suffered nationwide devastation. According to Trump, he tried negotiating sanction relief to help Iran recover—but reversed course when Khamenei responded with hostility. Trump ended his post with an appeal: “I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!”

Tehran Denounces Trump, Vows to Rise Again

In response, Iran’s Foreign Ministry sharply criticized Trump’s assertions, calling them “delusional” and “baseless.” Officials demanded proof of U.S. interference and threatened to expose his claims through credible international channels. Tehran insisted it endured no such “war victory” from Israel and maintains that its “nuclear facilities were never destroyed.” Analysts caution that this exchange—from personal attacks to threats of exposing hidden truths—reveals a deepening era of rhetorical escalation in U.S.–Iran tensions. 

US President Donald Trump Has Triggered Sharp Response 

This bold statement from former U.S. President Donald Trump has triggered sharp responses from political analysts and diplomats worldwide. While Trump's claims of military intervention and strategic restraint are being viewed as a show of power politics, critics argue that such rhetoric could further escalate tensions in an already volatile Middle East.

 Meanwhile, Iranian officials have yet to formally comment on the specifics of Trump’s accusations, but sources within Tehran suggest a high-level meeting is underway to assess potential diplomatic or media responses. The geopolitical fallout from this confrontation could ripple across international alliances and nuclear negotiations.
