Iran on Wednesday called President Trump as “has-been warmonger” as its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defiantly declared that Tehran isn’t frightened by President Trump’s “absurd rhetoric” — rejecting the United States’ demand to surrender in its war with Israel.

“The US President threatens us. With his absurd rhetoric, he demands that the Iranian people surrender to him. They should make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats,” Khamenei said in a statement on X.

Khamenei also vowed Iran would never back down and that any US strike would have “serious irreparable consequences.”

“The US entering in this matter is 100% to its own detriment. The damage it will suffer will be far greater than any harm that Iran may encounter,” he raged.

“It was already suspected that the US was involved in the malicious move carried out by the Zionist regime, but considering their recent remarks, this suspicion is growing stronger day by day.”

Hours later, the Iranian government — which is quickly running out of missiles — resorted to name-calling while denying the US president’s assertion Wednesday morning that it is still willing to negotiate with Washington and even proposed sending a delegation to the White House.

“No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations posted to X. “The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to “take out” Iran’s Supreme Leader.”

“Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance,” it added, referring to Trump.

The statements echoed remarks Khamenei made in a recorded speech played on state television Wednesday — hours after Trump demanded an “unconditional surrender” and warned the supreme leader that the US knew where he was.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump had said in a Truth Social post.

“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump initially distanced himself from Israel’s surprise attack Friday that triggered the conflict but has said in recent days he wants something “much bigger” than a ceasefire between the two Middle Eastern adversaries.

In his low resolution recorded statement, Khamenei doubled down and dismissed Trump’s threats.

“Intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation, and its history will never speak to this nation in threatening language because the Iranian nation will not surrender,” he said in a statement read out on state media.

“The Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage.”

An Iranian diplomat had earlier Wednesday warned that US intervention would risk “all-out war.”

“Any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei warned in an interview with Al Jazeera.

The foreign ministry spokesman stopped short of elaborating, but thousands of American troops are based in nearby countries within range of Iran’s weapons.
