Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Friday sharply criticised Donald Trump, accusing him of judging the world with arrogance and warning that leaders who display such hubris inevitably face downfall.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, Khamenei said tyrants and \u201carrogant rulers" of the past met their end when they were at the height of their power, drawing parallels with historical and religious figures widely portrayed as symbols of oppression and excess.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe US President who judges arrogantly about the whole world should know that tyrants and arrogant rulers of the world, such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, Mohammad Reza [Pahlavi] and other such rulers saw their downfall when they were at the peak of their hubris. He too will fall," Khamenei wrote.<\/p>\n
The Iranian leader\u2019s remarks referenced Pharaoh, the ancient Egyptian ruler opposed by Prophet Moses in Islamic and biblical tradition; Nimrod, a legendary tyrant in Abrahamic texts; and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran\u2019s last monarch who was overthrown during the 1979 Islamic Revolution and later died in exile.<\/p>\n
