WASHINGTON, D.C.: Former President Donald Trump announced he halted discussions aimed at easing sanctions on Iran following inflammatory comments from Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump indicated he might even consider military action against Iran if it persists in enriching uranium to unsafe levels.
He characterized Khamenei’s statements as filled with hostility and rage, prompting him to immediately scrap any plans to assist Iran by lifting sanctions.
This response came after Khamenei’s remarks following a 12-day conflict with Israel, which concluded when the U.S. conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. Khamenei claimed that Iran had “punched America in the face” by targeting a significant U.S. military base in Qatar in retaliation for the bombings, asserting that Iran would never capitulate.
Trump asserted that he had spared Khamenei’s life, revealing that U.S. officials had informed Reuters on June 15 of his rejection of an Israeli proposal to assassinate the Supreme Leader. In a social media post, Trump wrote, “His country was devastated, his three malevolent nuclear sites were DESTROYED, and I knew PRECISELY where he was sheltered. I wouldn’t allow Israel or the U.S. Armed Forces—by far the greatest military in the world—to end his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A HORRIFIC AND SHAMEFUL DEATH.”
He added that he had been developing a plan to lift sanctions on Iran for their quicker recovery but decided to abandon it after Khamenei’s aggressive statements. “I received a statement filled with rage, hatred, and disgust, and I immediately ceased all efforts for sanction relief and more,” Trump commented.
During a news conference at the White House, Trump did not dismiss the possibility of further strikes if Iran’s nuclear activities continued to pose a threat. When questioned about considering bombing Iranian nuclear sites again, he confidently replied, “Absolutely, without question.”
Trump also expressed his desire for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or another credible organization to inspect the bombed Iranian nuclear sites. He insisted that the sites had been “obliterated” and dismissed contradictory reports. He reiterated his support for the IAEA’s return to the locations.
On Wednesday, IAEA Director Rafael Grossi emphasized that restoring inspections was his top priority, given none had taken place since the Israeli bombings began on June 13. However, Iran’s parliament took action on Wednesday to suspend such inspections. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi indicated on Friday that Tehran might reject any inspection requests from the IAEA’s director.
Trump expressed skepticism about Iran’s desire to develop a nuclear weapon following the attacks, describing the country as “exhausted” but still open to dialogues about future relations. The White House stated on Thursday that there were no meetings scheduled with an Iranian delegation.
