WASHINGTON, Jan 18 (NNN-AGENCIES) — President Donald Trump warned Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to be “very careful
with his words.”
“The so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ of Iran, who has not been so Supreme
lately, had some nasty things to say about the United States and Europe,”
Trump tweeted of Khamenei’s comments earlier Friday in Tehran.
According to Trump, Khamenei’s blistering speech, in which he attacked the
“vicious” United States and described Britain, France and Germany as
“America’s lackey’s,” was a mistake.
“Their economy is crashing, and their people are suffering. He should be
very careful with his words!” Trump tweeted.
Ayatollah Khamenei, 80, addressed the nation from the Mosalla mosque in the capital. The last time he did so was in 2012 on the 33rd anniversary of the country’s Islamic Revolution.
The ayatollah criticised the “evil” administration of Trump, whom he called a “clown”.
He accused Washington of “lying” when it expressed support for the Iranian people, and said the US would “stab them with their poison dagger”.
Khamenei also lambasted the “evil” British government, along with Germany and France, for triggering the formal dispute mechanism over the 2015 nuclear deal. — NNN-AGENCIES
