Iran-US News: Diplomatic and political tensions between Iran and the US are once again at the peak after the recent bombing in West Asia. This time the root of the dispute is the intensifying war of words between Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former US President Donald Trump, which has further soured the relations between the two countries.Khamenei's 'victory declaration' and Trump's counterattackClaiming an alleged victory in the Iran-Israel war, Khamenei in a speech called it a "historic victory of the Islamic Republic". After this speech, Trump reacted sharply on the social media platform Truth Social, in which he claimed that he had saved Khamenei from an "ugly and humiliating death".Iran's befitting reply to AmericaReacting to Trump's remarks, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made sharp criticism on X (formerly Twitter). He warned Trump that if he wants any talks or agreement with the supreme leader, he will have to stop using abusive language.Araghchi described Trump's language as "unacceptable and undiplomatic" and said that it blocks any possible diplomatic path between Tehran and Washington.Trump's big claimsDonald Trump claimed that he had destroyed three "nuclear sites" of Iran and that he had "precise information" about where Khamenei was hiding. He also said that he prevented the US and Israeli forces from targeting Khamenei. Trump also claimed to have prevented Israel from launching a major attack on Tehran, which he is calling the "final knockout".Crisis looming over global stabilityThis diplomatic tussle that arose after the Iran-Israel war has further complicated the situation in the Middle East. The statements coming from both the US and Iran indicate that the hopes of improving relations in the coming days are bleak for the time being.Experts believe that if this war of words escalates further, it could have a profound impact on global politics, crude oil prices and regional stability.
