"As
long as America continues its wickedness, the Iranian nation
will not abandon 'Death to America'," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
told a gathering of Iranian Air Force officers marking the 40th
anniversary of Iran's Islamic Revolution, according to his
official website.
Trump pulled out of Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers
last year and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran, dealing a blow to
the country's economy.
"'Death to America' means death to Trump, (National Security
Adviser) John Bolton, and (Secretary of State Mike) Pompeo. It
means death to American rulers," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
European signatories of the nuclear deal have been trying to
save the accord, but Khamenei said they could not be trusted.
"I recommend that one should not trust the Europeans just as the
Americans," Khamenei said. "We don't say, don't have contacts
with them, but it's an issue of trust."
The European Union has stepped up criticism of Iran's ballistic
missiles program while remaining committed to the 2015 nuclear
deal.
