The remarks from the Iranian supreme leader come a day after Trump concluded a high-profile Gulf tour aimed at: 1. strengthening alliances 2. and securing multi-trillion-dollar investments.
On his tour, Trump condemned Iran’s leadership for its role in the region and threatened to cut Iran’s oil exports to zero.
“Iran’s leaders have focused on stealing their people’s wealth to fund terror and bloodshed abroad,” Trump told a Saudi investment forum on Tuesday.
Without referring to specific comments, Khamenei said some of Trump’s remarks are a “source of shame” and “not even worth responding to.” “The level of those comments is so low that they are a source of shame for the speaker himself and a cause for embarrassment for the American people.”
“Surely this model has failed. With the efforts of the regional nations, the US should leave the region, and it will leave,” Khamenei said.
