Iran's Supreme Leader Declares Trump's Signature 'Worthless' After US Breaches
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, stated on Saturday that repeated breaches of a memorandum of understanding by the United States have shown President Donald Trump's signature to be 'utterly worthless and devoid of credibility.' The statement, issued in writing, comes amid escalating tensions following the collapse of a ceasefire agreement last week.
According to the statement, the United States has failed to uphold its commitments under the MoU, which was signed by the presidents of Iran and the United States. Khamenei warned that the Iranian nation and the 'resistance front' have 'unforgettable lessons' for Washington.
The ceasefire, which had been in place, fell apart last week, leading to an exchange of strikes between Washington and Tehran. This has raised fears of a return to all-out war in the region. The international community has called for restraint and a return to diplomatic channels.
Khamenei's remarks reflect deep mistrust between the two nations, which have a history of strained relations. The United States has not yet officially responded to the statement.
