Iran has issued a fresh warning to the United States, accusing Washington of violating existing understandings between the two countries and questioning the credibility of President Donald Trump’s commitments.
According to The Times of Israel on July 18, 2026, a statement attributed to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, alleged that the United States had repeatedly breached a memorandum of understanding and claimed that Trump’s signature on such agreements was “worthless” and lacked credibility.
The statement comes amid heightened tensions following the collapse of a ceasefire last week, after which Washington and Tehran reportedly exchanged strikes, raising concerns over a possible return to wider regional conflict.
Khamenei said the United States was seeking to provoke war and warned that it should be prepared to face serious consequences. He added that the Iranian people, alongside what he described as the “axis of resistance,” were ready to deliver “unforgettable lessons” to their adversaries.
The latest exchange highlights the deep mistrust that continues to define relations between Iran and the United States, with Tehran portraying Washington as the main obstacle to lasting peace and reaffirming its resolve in the face of external pressure.
