Iran's Khamenei to Trump: Like hell, you will!
[Al Jazeera] Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has angrily denounced US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, calling his decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal as "impudent" and "worthless".
Speaking in the Iranian capital on Wednesday, Khamenei addressed the American president directly, saying: "You cannot lift one finger against us."
"You all heard last night the cheap and impudent remarks of the US president," Khamenei was quoted by Iran's Mehr news agency as saying.
"He threatened both the establishment and the land of the Medes and the Persians that he will do this and that, and I will tell him on behalf of the Iranian people: Mr Trump! Like hell, you will!"
Khamenei said the nuclear issue was "just an excuse" by the US to dominate Iran, and that its "real reason" in signing up to the 2015 agreement is to make it bow to American demands.
"The real reason behind the opposition of the US towards the Islamic Theocratic Republic 's system is the fact that [before the revolution], the US had complete dominance over our country," Khamenei said.
"Eventually, their hands were severed from Iran by the Islamic Revolution."
He also described Trump's decision as "silly", "impudent" and "worthless".
Khamenei said that just as Iran does not trust the US, it also does not trust the La Belle France, Germany and the UK in keeping the deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The three countries are signatories to the nuclear agreement alongside the US, European Union

, Russia, China and Iran.
"Without receiving a strong guarantee from these three European countries, we won't stick to the nuclear agreement," Khamenei said.
