Auburn Tigers head coach Bruce Pearl called out Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on social media after the Iranian supreme leader made some wild claims.
Khamenei warned in a prerecorded speech against future military intervention from the U.S. in his first statement since Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire.
He also claimed the U.S. felt Israel would be destroyed by Iran if it didn't step in.

Pearl, also chairman of the U.S. Israel Education Association, pushed back.
"Liars and Terrorists will not be trusted. I pray you keep the ceasefire so people in the Middle East can go on living and build on (President Trump's) Abraham Accords," he wrote in a post on X. "But don't think for one second (you're) fooling anyone. The world knows you still want a nuclear bomb and is watching!"
Khamenei's remarks were seemingly aimed at touting the country's strength rather than reflecting reality.

After Iran's attack on Al-Udeid, the American airbase in Qatar, Khamenei bragged that Iran "delivered a heavy slap to the U.S.'s face." However, President Donald Trump called it a "very weak response" before revealing that Iran gave the U.S. "early notice" of its planned retaliation.
"Iran has officially responded to our obliteration of their nuclear facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14 missiles fired - 13 were knocked down, and 1 was 'set free,' because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction," Trump wrote.
"I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured."
