Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is openly blaming Donald Trump for the most serious wave of unrest the Islamic Republic has faced in years, even as protests continue to rage across the country and IRGC security forces struggle to contain mounting public anger.
In his latest remarks, Khamenei accused Donald Trump of fueling demonstrations while urging the U.S. president to “focus on the problems in America,” a statement that underscores how deeply the Iranian leadership views the crisis threatening its grip on power.
