Iran's Khamenei Calls Trump 'Criminal' Over Protest Casualties and Unrest

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused U.S. President Donald Trump of being a "criminal" responsible for casualties, damage, and slander during recent protests in Iran. The protests, sparked by economic grievances and opposition to the clerical system, resulted in thousands of deaths amid a government crackdown and internet blackout. Khamenei claimed the unrest was a U.S.-orchestrated plot, with Trump personally encouraging protesters and threatening military intervention, while asserting Iran would avoid war but punish those deemed responsible.
