Khamenei Warns US of Consequences
(MENAFN) Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has cautioned that the United States would face “irreparable damage” if it chooses to engage in armed conflict with Iran.
His statements came as a reaction to a series of increasingly aggressive warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump in recent days.
President Trump has repeatedly cautioned that American forces are prepared to launch attacks should Iran target any U.S. interests.
He also hinted that Khamenei could be an “easy target.” In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, “We are not going to take him out—at least not for now.”
In additional remarks, he claimed that Iran “must surrender” and declared that the United States had “complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”
Addressing the threats during a nationally broadcast speech on Wednesday, Khamenei emphasized that “those with wisdom who know Iran and its history never speak to this nation in the language of threats.”
He underscored that Iran is not a country that will submit, saying “Iran is not a nation that will surrender,” according to Iranian media reports.
The supreme leader further noted that any armed incursion by the United States would bring about “damage that cannot be compensated.”
He rejected Trump’s demand for “unconditional surrender” and affirmed that the Islamic Republic “will not accept an imposed peace.”
