Donald Trump Makes Strange Claim: “I Saved Iran’s Khamenei from Death”
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy once again with a sensational statement about Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In a recent post on social media, Trump claimed that he once saved Khamenei from a “terrible death” by halting a planned Israeli attack.
As tensions between the United States and Iran continue to simmer, Trump’s post has drawn significant attention. He asserted that Israel had fully prepared to eliminate Khamenei, but the plan was called off based on his own advice. “Khamenei is alive today only because of me,” Trump wrote, portraying himself as the unlikely protector of Iran’s top leader.
Trump’s remarks have raised several questions about his motivations and consistency. This is the same Donald Trump who once ordered the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and has frequently spoken out against the Iranian regime. Yet, in other instances, he has floated the idea of negotiating a new deal with Iran.
Political observers are now asking: What exactly is Trump trying to convey? Is he trying to confuse Iran, or is he aiming to shape a unique narrative ahead of the upcoming U.S. elections?
In his post, Trump further claimed that Israel was on the verge of launching its “biggest attack” on Iran. He alleged that he personally intervened to stop Israeli jets and later advocated for easing sanctions on Tehran. However, he expressed frustration that Iran continued to make anti-American statements despite these efforts. “Iran is a ruined country, where there is death everywhere,” he added, reinforcing his tough stance.
As of now, there has been no official response from Israeli or Iranian authorities regarding Trump’s claims.
With this latest statement, Donald Trump once again positions himself at the center of global diplomatic drama, raising eyebrows not only in Washington but also in Tehran and Tel Aviv.
