Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after leaving the UAE on Friday, Trump warned that Iran needed to act quickly on a US nuclear proposal or “something bad’s going to happen.”

Khamenei brushed off the warning, saying the remarks "aren't even worth responding to" and calling them "an embarrassment to the speaker and the American people."

He further declared, “Undoubtedly, the source of corruption, war, and conflict in this region is the Zionist regime — a dangerous, deadly cancerous tumor that must be uprooted; it will be uprooted."
