  • Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized US President Donald Trump for backing Iranian protesters.
  • Khamenei told Trump to "manage his own country" after Trump offered US help amid escalating anti-government protests in Iran.
  • Khamenei accused Trump of having "blood of the Iranians on his hands" due to the 12-day war and his support for "rioters."
  • The Iranian protests, initially over living costs, have become a major challenge to Khamenei's rule since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
