‘Saved him from ugly death': Trump tears into Khamenei day after his victory speech
United States President Donald Trump has claimed that he spared Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei an 'ugly and ignominious death' during the 12-day war with Israel, a day after the latter claimed victory over the US. US President Donald Trump said that he knew 'exactly' where Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei was sheltered but did not let Israel and the US armed forces 'terminate his life'. In a heavily worded post on TruthSocial, Trump called Khamenei's claim of victory in the war against Israel a 'lie' and added that as a 'man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie'. Trump added that during the United States' attack on Iran, the country was 'decimated', its three nuclear sites - Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan - were 'obliterated', and that he knew 'exactly' where Khamenei was sheltered but did not let Israel and the US armed forces 'terminate his life'. 'I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH,' Trump wrote. '...and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!' he added. 'In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far.' Trump's post comes a day after Khamenei made an appearance on Thursday and congratulated his country for victory over the United States and said that America had to enter the war because otherwise, Israel would have been destroyed. 'My congratulations on our dear Iran's victory over the US regime. The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn't, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing,' Khamenei said. 'Was working on possible removal of sanctions' According to Trump, after the ceasefire was declared between Israel and Iran, he was working on removing sanctions against the latter to help the country recover faster. However, he said that he stopped working on that after Khamenei's statement. 'During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more,' Trump wrote. He also said that Iran has to get back into the 'world order flow' or things would only get worse for them. 'Honey' over 'Vinegar' Calling Iran 'angry, hostile, and unhappy', Trump said that these things have only crippled the country militarily and economically. Throwing in a suggestion for Iran, he added that he wishes their leadership understands that more things can be achieved with 'honey' than 'vinegar'. 'They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them - A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!' Trump wrote. What Israel's defence minister said Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that his country wanted to kill Khamenei during the 12-day war with Iran, however, did not do so due to lack of opportunity. "I estimate that if Khamenei had been in our sights, we would have taken him out," he told Israel's Kan public television, according to Reuters. "But Khamenei understood this, went underground to very great depths, and broke off contacts with the commanders who replaced those commanders who were eliminated, so it wasn't realistic in the end," he added.

Trump claims he saved Iran's Khamenei from 'ugly and ignominious death'
US President Donald Trump on Friday has said that he spared Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the recent conflict with Israel. He also dismissed the Iranian leader's declaration of victory. "Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Claims of destroyed nuclear sites and aborted strikes Trump claimed that Iran's nuclear facilities had been destroyed and that he had precise knowledge of Khamenei's hiding location. However, he said he stopped both US and Israeli forces from killing him. "His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!'" he added on Truth Social. Trump further added that in the final stages of the war, he ordered Israel to recall a fleet of aircraft heading to Tehran, potentially preventing major destruction and loss of life. "In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed." Sanction relief efforts halted over Iranian response Trump also said he had been working towards lifting sanctions to help Iran recover quickly, but stopped after receiving what he described as a hostile response. "During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more." He urged Iran to adopt a more constructive approach: "They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!" Khamenei accuses Trump of exaggeration Trump's post comes a day after Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, during a televised speech on Thursday, said that the US exaggerated the extent of damage inflicted on Iran. "The American president exaggerated events in unusual ways, and it turned out that he needed this exaggeration," Khamenei said, according to The Times of Israel. He also asserted that American strikes had achieved "nothing significant" and that Iran's nuclear infrastructure remained largely intact. Claiming success in the conflict, Khamenei added, "The Islamic Republic won, and in retaliation dealt a severe slap to the face of America," referring to Iran's missile strike on the US military base at Al Udeid in Qatar. He warned that such actions could be repeated and said Iran had access to key American sites in the region. Iran-Israel '12-day war' The war between Israel and Iran lasted for 12 days, with a ceasefire taking effect on June 24. The truce was welcomed globally as it eased tensions and calmed markets — oil prices fell, gold dipped, and stocks surged. Trump announced the ceasefire just minutes after both nations issued fresh threats of attack. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi later stated that the Iranian military had fought until "the very last minute". Trump said, "On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR'." The ceasefire came after US airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. In retaliation, Iran fired missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. However, as per media reports, Iran had already given advance notice to limit casualties. The base, hosting roughly 10,000 US troops, serves as the headquarters for US Central Command in the region.

Police track 10L farmer lost in digital arrest scam
Nashik: After a farmer from Niphad lost Rs 10 lakh in a digital arrest scam last year, the Nashik Rural police traced the money and retrieved Rs 3.2 lakh. Nashik Rural police said in May last year, a farmer Suraj Kale of Takli Vinchur, Lasalgaon in Niphad taluka, received an unknown call. The caller said he was speaking from a branch of FedX in Mumbai and told Kale that their department had received a parcel on latter's name, the police said, adding that the parcel contained four Iranian passports and drugs. The fraudster subsequently called via Skype, in a police uniform, on the pretext of verifying bank account. He took Kale's bank details and secured a loan of Rs 10 lakh. He then transferred the money to another bank account. Following this, Kale filed a complaint with the cybercrime branch of the Nashik Rural police. A team, led by inspector Nagesh Mohite, including constable Suvarna Ahire of the cybercrime traced the money to another account where Rs 10 lakh was transferred and froze it. However, by the time police froze the account, the cybercrook managed to transfer Rs 6.8 lakh to yet another account. The police completed the legal procedure and retrieved Rs 3.2 lakh. Senior officers of the cybercrime police said efforts are underway to trace the conmen.
