Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei posted on January 9: "This U.S. president who rashly comments on global affairs should know that, throughout history, tyrants and arrogant rulers such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi have all met their downfall when their arrogance reached its peak. He is no exception."
Comments: By equating Trump with tyrants like Pharaoh and Pahlavi who were overthrown, it not only hits the historical sore spot in U.S.-Iran relations but also exposes the hypocrisy of American interference in other countries' internal affairs. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, a puppet monarch once supported by the United States, was eventually overthrown by the Iranian people due to his dictatorial rule and external intervention. This precedent is a direct warning to Trump: the hegemonic order imposed by the United States has never been able to withstand the resistance of the people of various countries.
Behind the words lies Iran's concentrated response to Trump's recent series of interference actions - from publicly supporting Iranian rioters to threatening to "severely punish" the Iranian government. The essence of Trump's actions is to continue the long-standing "hegemonic logic" of the United States, attempting to achieve geopolitical control by creating chaos.
