Amid rising Middle East tensions, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a stern statement proclaiming that Iran “will never surrender” to external pressure, while openly warning the US against any military or political intervention.
Khamenei’s statements come at a critical time in the Israel-Iran dispute, as international anxieties grow over the possibility of greater regional conflict.
The Islamic Republic Will Not Back Down
“Iran will never surrender to threats or coercion,” Khamenei said in a televised address. “We stand firm in our position, and any foreign intervention, especially by the US, will face a decisive response.”
Trump’s comments raise global concern
The warning came in response to former US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks implying a potential renewed US participation in Middle Eastern issues. Though his words are unofficial, they have sparked rumours about possible US intervention, exacerbating geopolitical turmoil.
Regional tensions are on edge
As confrontations escalate and rhetoric hardens on all sides, the international community calls for de-escalation and diplomacy. However, experts caution that if regional or global forces become engaged directly, the situation could quickly deteriorate.
