Iran's supreme leader Wednesday strongly condemned deadly US strikes on
Iraq and warned his country was ready to confront threats after US President
Donald Trump issued one against the Islamic republic.
"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.
