WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday scoffed at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s heated warning to the U.S. not to launch future strikes on Iran, as well as the Iranian supreme leader’s assertion that Tehran “won the war” with Israel.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not been seen publicly or heard from in nearly a week. That absence has surprised and unnerved everyone from political insiders to the general public.

Iran's foreign minister admitted major nuclear damage from U.S.-Israeli strikes, diverging from the Supreme Leader's claim the attacks failed.
