Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to X on Sunday to accuse United States President Donald Trump, whom he described as "the man who is now in office" in Washington, of wanting to have Tehran obedient to the North American country.
"The Iranian nation feels deeply offended by such a grave insult, and they will stand with all their might against anyone who has such an illegitimate expectation," Khamenei wrote. He praised his nation for its response to Israel and the United States' recent strikes on Iran. Furthermore, Khamenei accused the US of interfering in Iran's internal affairs in an effort to create a divide and of trying to restore the monarchy, overturned during the revolution in 1979.

What’s the problem with this statement?
I think it’s a grave insult to be a mullah.
You catch on fast sistah.
We play the tune, and you dance to it.
RE: Khamenei: Trump wants Iran to obey to US
If by “obeying”, it means NOT to develop nukes in order to threaten Iran’s neighbors, then YES. But then, so do all of Iran’s neighbors.
He talks as if it’s a bad thing.
Nothing special about Iran, that’s what Trump wants the whole world to do while he’s president.
Or if you'd prefer SecDef Hegseth can send you another dose of the industrial strength colon cleanser.
No need to give him your address, he knows where you are.
“Trump wants Iran to obey to US”
Brilliant. The mullahs finally figured it out.
Even if you don’t like Iran, we should be honest here. The money that Obama sent to Iran was not a “gift”. It was Iranian money (and interest that had accrued since 1979). The US shouldn’t be in the business of stealing others’ money, even if we don’t agree with their politics.
No he wants you to start acting like a civilized nation for the 1st time since 1978.
