Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has mocked US President Donald Trump's leadership capabilities as seven million Americans participate in "No Kings" protests across all 50 states. These demonstrations oppose Trump's policies on immigration, education, and security that protesters claim are pushing America toward autocracy. Khamenei's remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US over nuclear capabilities and international influence.
