โ—๏ธIran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed US President Donald Trumpโ€™s recent statements made during his Gulf tour, saying that he is lying about wanting regional peace. Khamenei responded that the US instead empowers Israel by supplying it with โ€œ10-ton bombs to drop on the heads of Gaza's children.โ€

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after leaving the UAE on Friday, Trump warned that Iran needed to act quickly on a US nuclear proposal or โ€œsomething badโ€™s going to happen.โ€

Khamenei brushed off the warning, saying the remarks "aren't even worth responding to" and calling them "an embarrassment to the speaker and the American people."

He further declared, โ€œUndoubtedly, the source of corruption, war, and conflict in this region is the Zionist regime โ€” a dangerous, deadly cancerous tumor that must be uprooted; it will be uprooted."
