Trump says he’ll bomb Iran again if nuclear activities start
The US president said he saved Supreme Leader Khamenei from assassination and lashed out at him for not saying ‘thank you’
US President Donald Trump said on Friday he had saved Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from assassination and lashed out at the supreme leader for ingratitude, declaring he would order more bombing if the country tried to pursue nuclear weapons.
In an extraordinary outburst on social media, Trump blasted Tehran for claiming to have won its war with Israel and said he was halting work on possible sanctions relief.
Trump said the United States would bomb Iran again “without question” if the country was still able to enrich uranium to the grade required for nuclear weapons following US strikes.
The US president accused the Iranian leader of ingratitude after Khamenei said in a defiant message that reports of damage to nuclear sites from the US bombings were exaggerated, and said Iran had beaten Israel and dealt Washington a “slap”.
“I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life,” Trump posted.
“I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!’”
