Iranian supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to teach the U.S. “unforgettable lessons” as renewed hostilities flared on Saturday (July 18, 2026), saying Washington’s attacks despite a framework deal to end the war showed Donald Trump’s signature to be worthless.
“Now that the American enemy seeks to incite war and bear its most serious consequences, it should know that the dear Iranian nation and the axis of resistance have unforgettable lessons to offer it,” he said, in a statement carried by state TV, adding that U.S. violations of the deal “once again demonstrated to everyone the worthlessness of the American president’s signature”.
Iran on Saturday (July 18, 2026) struck infrastructure in the Gulf and threatened a “full-scale offensive” in retaliation for the seventh consecutive night of U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic.
A month after they agreed a preliminary deal aimed at ending their war, fighting has intensified, with Tehran accusing Washington of hitting an airport, a railway station and bridges.
