US President Donald Trump on Friday said that he has halted efforts to ease sanctions on Iran, following the statements by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claiming "victory" during the so-called 12-day war, and also saying that Trump's order for Iran to surrender was a "statement [that] is too big to come out of the US president's mouth".
Trump, in a post on his social media platform TruthSocial, also took credit for not allowing the Pentagon or Israel to assassinate Khamenei, he said.
