Iran�s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mocked President Donald Trump�s assertion that recent U.S. airstrikes had �obliterated� Iran�s nuclear infrastructure, calling the claim a fantasy.� �The U.S. president proudly says they bombed and destroyed Iran�s nuclear industry. Very well, keep dreaming!� Khamenei wrote on X, in a post that quickly went viral across Persian and English-language networks.
The sharp exchange followed Trump remarks in which the president described the strikes on suspected Iranian nuclear sites as a �decisive victory� for American security interests. U.S. defense officials later told Congress that intelligence showed key facilities at Natanz and Fordow had sustained �irreparable damage.�
Iranian officials, however, rejected those claims. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said on state television that enrichment activities had resumed at alternative locations and that �the Islamic Republic�s nuclear knowledge cannot be bombed away.�
Analysts said Khamenei�s comments reflect both defiance and political calculation. �This is classic Khamenei: projecting strength to rally hardliners at home while avoiding direct confrontation,� said Sanam Vakil of Chatham House.
