Khamenei accuses Trump of inciting ‘sedition’ in Iran, calls him a criminal

Jan 17, 2026, 09:50 GMT+0Updated: 12:19 GMT+0

“We consider the US president a criminal for the casualties, damages, and the slander he inflicted on the Iranian nation,” Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Saturday.

“The recent unrest was an American plot, and the United States’ goal is to devour Iran.”

“Trump himself intervened in this unrest, made statements, encouraged the rioters, and said we will provide military support,” Khamenei added.

Americans, he said, had planned these events and that their goal was "domination over Iran."

Khamenei also said the US president portrayed "vandals" as the Iranian nation.

“The Iranian nation, just as it broke the back of the riot, must also break the back of those who instigated it.”

“The Iranian nation will not let go of the domestic and international criminals behind this unrest,” said Iran's Supreme Leader.
