"I and the government and the nation of
Iran strongly condemn this
American crime," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech broadcast on state television.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Trump accused Iran of "orchestrating" that day's storming of the US embassy in Baghdad by
protesters angry at the American air strikes.
