Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei stated that repeated US violations of a memorandum of understanding signed by the Iranian and US presidents demonstrate the US president's signature is "worthless" and "lacked credibility." According to Iran鈥檚 official news agency IRNA, Khamenei accused the United States of arrogance, unilateralism, and brutality, describing these as inherent to the American approach. He referred to Washington as "the great satan" for its breaches of commitments under the MoU. Khamenei condemned the US for what he termed "disregard for reason, utter untrustworthiness, and malicious intent." He warned that the Iranian nation and the Axis of Resistance have "unforgettable lessons" for Washington as the US seeks to "ignite war." He cited the courage of Iranian fighters and residents in the southern region as examples of these lessons. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen publicly since his father, former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, was killed in US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. Last week, US President Donald Trump suggested Mojtaba Khamenei was likely deceased.
