Iran has issued a strong response to the recent US strikes, saying the attacks show that Donald Trump's word is "utterly worthless." The message, reported by DW, was presented in a written statement attributed to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba al-Khamenei.
The statement sharply rebukes Washington's actions and signals that Tehran views the strikes as more than a military move. By tying the attacks directly to Trump's credibility, Iran appears to be framing the episode as proof that US assurances cannot be relied upon during a period of high regional tension.
Iran also warned of "unforgettable lessons," language that suggests a hardening tone even if no further details were publicly confirmed in the available report. The wording points to the risk of a deeper diplomatic and security fallout as both sides assess the consequences of the latest escalation.
The broader regional picture remains fluid. In a related development noted in the report, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun departed Beirut for Washington at Trump's invitation, though neither side had confirmed whether a direct meeting would take place. That travel underscores how closely regional diplomacy is being watched as tensions around the US strikes continue to unfold.
