It is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life.""I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, "THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!" In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far," he further claimed that he had convinced Israel to bring back its large pool of fighter jets, which were heading toward fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them," he on Friday (US local time), while holding a press briefing, the US President had restated his stance on the destruction of the nuclear sites in Iran and praised the military prowess of the United States in targeting the had remarked, "So Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots- what talent that was, and they (pilots) hit it right down in the spot- fifty-two thousand feet. Think of this- dark, no moon. You couldn't see a thing, and they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target... We're the only ones that could have done it. And we took out the two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off."Trump added in his remarks, "That was a very evil intention. I believe that, and again, time will tell, but I don't believe that they're (Iran) going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear, and they never got it together."He noted that nothing was moved away from the nuclear sites."It's very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top of the hatch, going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was, I don't think it had a chance to dry, but everything's down there. It's under millions of tons of rock."Trump's remarks come on the backdrop of Operation Midnight Hammer carried out by the US on 3 nuclear sites of Iran- Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Iran condemns Trump threats and claims of saving Khamenei after nuclear strikes, Abbas Araghchi responds
The US recently struck three Iranian nuclear sites, with US President Donald Trump declaring he'd 'absolutely' order more strikes if needed. Iran, however, insists it won't resume nuclear talks, despite Mr Trump's claims. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned Mr Trump's recent comments as 'disrespectful and unacceptable,' after the US president claimed he had saved Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from 'an ugly and ignominious death' and threatened further bombing if Iran pursues nuclear weapons. 'If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran's Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt supporters,' Araghchi posted on X. 'The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to 'Daddy' to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults,' he added. The US recently carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, joining Israel's bombardment during a 12-day conflict launched on June 13. Mr Trump, in a Truth Social post, claimed he had spared Khamenei's life: 'I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!'' Mr Trump also said he had been working on possible sanctions relief for Iran but dropped the effort after receiving 'a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust' from Tehran. He urged Iran to return to negotiations, but Iran has denied any plans to resume nuclear talks with the US. Asked at a White House press conference if he would consider more air strikes if Iran's nuclear ambitions continued, Mr Trump replied: 'Sure. Without question. Absolutely.' He also said Khamenei and Iran 'got beat to hell.' US intelligence assessments suggest the strikes only set Iran's nuclear program back by a few months, despite Mr Trump's claims of 'obliterating' the facilities.

Iran condemns Trump's 'disrespectful and unacceptable' comments on Khamenei
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned on Saturday (June 28, 2025) the "disrespectful and unacceptable" comments from Donald Trump, after the U.S. President claimed to have saved Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from an "ugly and ignominious death". "If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran's Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt supporters," Mr. Araghchi posted on his account on social media platform X. "The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to 'Daddy' to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults," the Foreign Minister said. The United States carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend, with no consensus as to how effective they were. With those strikes, Washington joined Israel's bombardments of Iran's nuclear programme in the 12-day conflict launched on June 13. The Foreign Minister's condemnation on Saturday came after Mr. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he had saved the Iranian leader from assassination, accusing Mr. Khamenei of ingratitude. "I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life," Mr. Trump posted. "I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!'" Mr. Trump also said that he had been working in recent days on the possible removal of sanctions against Iran, one of Tehran's main demands. "But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more," Mr. Trump added, exhorting Iran to return to the negotiating table. Iran has denied it is set to resume nuclear talks with the United States, after Mr. Trump said that negotiations would begin again next week.
