Khamenei should be very careful with his words: Trump warns Iran's leader

President Donald Trump on Friday (January 17) warned Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to be “very careful with his words.”

“The so-called Supreme Leader of Iran, who has not been so Supreme lately, had some nasty things to say about the United States and Europe,” Trump tweeted of Khamenei’s comments earlier Friday in Tehran.

According to Trump, Khamenei’s blistering speech, in which he attacked the “vicious” United States and described Britain, France and Germany as “America’s lackeys,” was a mistake.

“Their economy is crashing, and their people are suffering. He should be very careful with his words!” Trump tweeted.
