‘Failed!’ Iran Supreme Leader dunks on Trump over major broken promise
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dunked on President Donald Trump Thursday over his failure to end the war in Ukraine, among the president’s key pledges on the campaign trail in 2024.
“The U.S. instigated the costly war in Ukraine but failed to achieve its goals,” Khamenei wrote Thursday in a social media post on X. “The current U.S. President had claimed he would end it in three days.”
Trump pledged on the campaign trail to end the war in Ukraine “in 24 hours” should he be re-elected, a pledge that has gone on unfulfilled with the war still raging months later. Recent developments have suggested that a peace deal may soon be accepted by both Ukraine and Russia, however, key sticking points in the negotiations remain unsettled.
Khamenei, who’s been known to take sharp jabs at Trump on social media, reminded the president of his broken promise on ending the war in Ukraine Thursday, and how his latest efforts may end up failing as well.
“Now about a year later, he is forcibly imposing a 28-point plan on the same country that he himself dragged into war,” he wrote.
The latest effort reportedly involved a 28-point plan, though one critics have cast doubt on after Secretary of State Marco Rubio stripped out language from the plan that would have prohibited Ukraine from joining NATO, with Ukraine’s potential admittance to NATO being among the chief reasons for Russia’s initial invasion.The US instigated the costly war in Ukraine but failed to achieve its goals. The current US President had claimed he would end it in three days. Now about a year later, he is forcibly imposing a 28-point plan on the same country that he himself dragged into war.
