US-Iran Row: ‘America Lost’, Claims Khomeini Native

April 11, 2026

Tehran, April 11: Amid escalating geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran, a resident of the ancestral village of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has made strong remarks, claiming that “America has lost” in the ongoing confrontation.

The individual also alleged that Pakistan acted as a “puppet” of the United States and was used as a mediator at Washington’s request during recent diplomatic efforts. The remarks come at a time when Pakistan has been actively involved in facilitating talks between the two nations.

Recent developments show that high-level negotiations between US and Iranian officials have taken place in Islamabad, with Pakistan playing a key mediating role in efforts to stabilize the situation and maintain a fragile ceasefire.

The broader conflict, which began earlier this year following US and allied strikes on Iran, has significantly altered regional dynamics, with both sides engaging in indirect negotiations while maintaining strong positions.

Experts note that while such comments from individuals do not reflect official Iranian policy, they highlight prevailing public sentiment in parts of Iran, where anti-US views remain strong.

The mention of Pakistan underscores its complex diplomatic position—balancing relations with both Washington and Tehran while attempting to play a stabilising role in the region.

There has been no official response from the United States or Pakistan regarding the specific claims made by the individual. However, diplomatic efforts continue amid ongoing tensions, with global stakeholders closely monitoring the situation.
