Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said European nations including the UK "cannot be trusted" but Tehran is not against negotiating with anyone - except the US.

Delivering his first sermon in eight years in Tehran, the top cleric branded Donald Trump a "clown" who only pretended to support the Iranian people and would "push a poisonous dagger" into their back.

Mr Khamenei also hailed missile strikes against US targets in retaliation for the assassination of Iran's top military commander as a "slap on the face" to the superpower.

American forces have now revealed that 11 troops were injured in the attack, after initially saying no service personnel had been hurt.

Mr Khamenei's defiant address came as the Iranian leadership faced pressure both at home and abroad.

One bad thing about leaders is that they run to exile, after starting the war.

Hmm
