Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed thousands on the occasion of Eid al-Mab'ath, accusing the United States of orchestrating the recent sedition in Iran with the goal of reimposing military, political, and economic dominance. He held US President Donald Trump personally responsible for casualties, damages, and slander against the Iranian nation, citing Trump's direct incitement, threats, and promises of support to rioters. Khamenei stated that Iran has no intention of leading the country into war but will pursue accountability for both domestic and international criminals involved through appropriate institutions.
