President Doanld Trump once again claimed that he saved the life of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and without his intervention, he would face an “ugly and ignominious death”. The assertion came as Iran claimed victory and Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz claimed that they would have killed Khamenei had he been found without needing any go-ahead from the US. But Khamenei went deep underground and broke off contacts with commanders, the Israeli minister dais adding that they don’t need permission from the US. With both sides diminishing the significance of the mediation of the US, Trump again claimed that he saved Khamanei’s life as he knew “exactly” where he was sheltered. “I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!” In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far,” Trump posted on Truth Social./ “They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them – A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!” Trump posted. At a press conference Friday, Trump said US would bomb Iran again if there is any further intel about Iran restarting its uranium programs.In his first remarks since the US strikes on Iran;s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, Khamenei said US achieved nothing through the strikes. “My congratulations on our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime,” Khamenei wrote early Thursday on social platform X. “The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed.”“It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing,” he added. Khamanei also noted that it was Iran which delivered a heavy slap to the US face, attacking US airbase in Qatar.
