Iran's acting Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a lengthy statement Saturday evening accusing the United States of repeatedly violating the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, calling President Trump's signature 'worthless and invalid.' He described the US as a 'liar, irrational, unreliable, and evil' and warned that Iran has 'unforgettable lessons' for the American enemy. The statement also praised the 'bravery of Islamic fighters and the courage of southern residents in recent days.'
This statement, published at 19:54 Jerusalem, is the full text of the remarks first reported by The Zioneer at 19:39. In it, Khamenei accuses the United States of repeatedly violating the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, which was signed earlier this week, according to previous reports by The Zioneer. He argues that the violations demonstrate that President Trump's signature is 'worthless and invalid,' and that the US is inherently 'a liar, irrational, unreliable, and evil.' The acting supreme leader warns that Iran has 'unforgettable lessons' for the American enemy, and cites the 'bravery of Islamic fighters and the courage of southern residents in recent days' as examples of the resistance front's determination. The statement comes amid an ongoing debate within Iran over the MOU, with some officials expressing support and others, including Khamenei, emphasizing distrust of US commitments. The text does not specify which US actions he considers violations, but the accusation aligns with previous Iranian criticism of the agreement.
