'More Dangerous Is The Weapon...': Khamenei's Stark Warning To Trump Amid Escalating US-Iran Tensions

In a significant escalation of rhetoric, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stark warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, asserting that Washington's approach towards Iran is fraught with danger. Khamenei accused the United States of attempting to exert dominance over Iran through threats and imposing preconditions for negotiations regarding Tehran's contentious nuclear program. This statement comes amid increasing tensions between the two nations, particularly following the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement and the subsequent re-imposition of sanctions on Iran. Khamenei's remarks underscore Iran's firm stance against what it perceives as U.S. aggression and its commitment to defending its sovereignty. The backdrop of these tensions includes escalating military posturing in the region and ongoing fears of a potential conflict. As both nations navigate this precarious relationship, the future of diplomatic engagement remains uncertain, with Khamenei emphasizing Iran's resilience against external pressures.
