Iran’s Supreme Leader Says U.S. Violated Agreement, Declares Trump’s Commitments ‘Worthless’

TEHRAN: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has accused the United States of repeatedly violating a memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries, declaring that U.S. President Donald Trump’s commitments are “utterly worthless and devoid of credibility.” The remarks come amid renewed military confrontation following the collapse of a recent ceasefire agreement.

In a written statement issued on Saturday, Khamenei said repeated U.S. breaches of the agreement had demonstrated that Washington could not be trusted. He asserted that the Iranian nation had learned important lessons from the developments and warned that Iran and its allied “resistance front” would respond firmly to continued American actions.

The statement follows a sharp escalation in tensions after the breakdown of the ceasefire, which has led to renewed exchanges of missile, drone and air strikes between Iran and the United States. The latest hostilities have heightened fears of a broader regional conflict involving U.S. allies in the Middle East.

Iranian officials maintain that the United States initiated the latest round of military action by violating the terms of the understanding reached between the two sides. Washington, meanwhile, has defended its operations as necessary to counter Iranian attacks on U.S. forces and protect regional security.

The exchange of accusations underscores the deepening diplomatic rift between Tehran and Washington, with international observers warning that continued military escalation could further destabilize the Middle East and threaten global energy markets.
