Khamenei to Trump: 'Dream On' as Iran Rejects Claims Its Nuclear Sites Were Destroyed

The put-down underscores a hard line, with talks frozen after the nuclear deal's lapse.

„Wer bist du zu sagen, was ein Land mit Atomindustrie haben oder nicht haben darf?“, sagte Chamenei in Richtung des US-Präsidenten

Overview

  • Iran’s supreme leader publicly dismissed the U.S. president’s assertion that strikes wiped out Iran’s nuclear capabilities, telling him to “dream on.”
  • Trump has repeatedly said a full load of bombs during June’s 12‑day campaign hit enrichment facilities and completely destroyed them, a claim Tehran rejects.
  • State media quoted Khamenei as rejecting negotiations under coercion, noting five rounds of indirect U.S.–Iran talks collapsed before the June strikes.
  • The 2015 nuclear accord expired on Saturday, and broad United Nations sanctions were reinstated in September after European efforts to forge a new deal failed.
  • The IAEA reports Iran now holds enriched‑uranium stocks far above past limits, as Trump recently told Israel’s parliament it would be great to pursue a peace agreement with Tehran after a Gaza cease-fire.
