Khamenei slams Trump nuclear withdrawal: ‘You cannot do a damn thing’
Iran’s supreme leader is challenging US President Donald Trump over America pulling out of nuclear deal, saying: “You cannot do a damn thing!”
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments come as he met with a group of school teachers in Tehran, a day after Trump announced he was renewing sanctions on Iran.
Khamenei described Trump’s speech last night as having “over 10 lies,” without elaborating. He also says Trump’s remarks threatened Iran’s people and its theocratic government.
Under Iran’s Islamic Republic, Khamenei has final say on all state matters.
