Iran’s senior security official Ali Larijani has accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of walking into an “Israeli trap” following the joint U.S.–Israel strikes that reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Larijani claims Washington prioritized Israeli interests, dragging the United States into a broader conflict with Iran and undermining American national security. The charges have sent shockwaves through political circles in Washington and Tehran, intensifying debate over the escalation of the US–Iran war and the role of Israel in shaping U.S. strategy. Israel and Trump officials have framed the strikes as necessary to degrade Iran’s regime and security capabilities, while Iranian leaders decry the operation as foreign interference that will be met with forceful response.
