Trump-Iran Tensions Escalate After US Strikes, Khamenei Retaliates

News summary

Tensions between the United States and Iran remain high following recent military strikes and escalating rhetoric. President Donald Trump claimed he prevented Israeli and U.S. forces from killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during recent conflicts and accused Khamenei of lying about winning the war with Israel, stating that Iran's situation will worsen. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi condemned Trump's disrespectful tone and warned that if the U.S. President truly wants a deal, he must first change his approach. Iran retaliated to U.S. bombings of its nuclear sites by launching missile attacks on U.S. bases, with Supreme Leader Khamenei declaring that Iran dealt a significant blow to the U.S. and threatening further actions. Meanwhile, U.S. senators are set to vote on a bill requiring President Trump to seek congressional approval before engaging in war with Iran, reflecting concerns about unchecked executive military action amid Trump's aggressive stance. Despite the conflict and harsh statements, the White House maintains that the door to diplomatic talks with Iran remains open.
