Khamenei chastises Trump for weighing in on Iran protests

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei directly warned President Donald Trump on Friday to stay out of Iranian affairs as protests against the supreme leader’s regime sweep the nation.

“Everyone should know that the Islamic Republic came to power with the blood of hundreds of thousands of honorable people, and it will not back down in the face of saboteurs,” he said in a televised statement as Iran remains under a widespread internet blackout authorized by the regime.
