During his 2025 Middle East tour, former U.S. President Donald Trump faced sharp criticism from Iranian leaders for remarks perceived as biased and inflammatory. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned Trump’s pro-Israel stance and accused him of endorsing violence in Gaza under the guise of promoting peace. President Masoud Pezeshkian echoed the criticism, calling Trump’s statements a continuation of failed U.S. policies that have destabilized the region. The backlash highlights deepening tensions over U.S. involvement and rhetoric regarding the Gaza conflict and broader Middle East geopolitics. (PC: Reuters)
