Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered a nation-wide address today. Just minutes following the live broadcast, Israeli fighter jets targeted Tehran's Lavizan area, known as a potential secret hideout for Khamenei. Speculation on the timing of the strike has intensified globally, questioning whether Khamenei himself was the intended target.
This assault comes on the heels of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statement asserting that dismantling Khamenei would end both the war and the Iranian regime.

As tensions escalate, U.S. President Donald Trump also issued a statement last night, asserting, "We know where he is... we haven't killed him yet."
Iranian media previously reported that Khamenei had been moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan, reinforcing theories that Israel might have targeted that very bunker.

There has been no official confirmation from either Israel or Iran about this incident, though it has intensified the already war-like conditions existing between the two nations.

What did Khamenei convey in his address?
Ayatollah Khamenei, in his address, delivered a stern and emotional message, asserting that the Iranian people would never forget the blood of their martyrs nor forgive violations of its airspace. He warned Iran's adversaries that any military action by the U.S. or other powers against Iran would result in irreversible consequences.
He also responded to the bellicose and absurd statements by U.S. President Trump, warning that Iran will not tolerate threats. He declared that Iran will neither surrender in an imposed war nor tolerate any U.S. military meddling which would result in unforgettable damage.
Condemned Israeli attack as foolish and malicious
In his television address, Ayatollah Khamenei condemned the recent Israeli attack as foolish and malicious, describing it as a test of the Iranian people's endurance. Praising the timely, brave, and resolute actions of the Iranian people, he emphasized the nation's spiritual and rational maturity. He declared, "We will accept neither imposed war nor imposed peace. The Iranian nation will not succumb to any form of coercion."
Iran remains steadfast in its resilience against forceful aggression.
