Amid the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a resolute and passionate message to his nation on Tuesday. He unequivocally stated that the Iranian people will never forget the blood of their martyrs and will not forgive those who violate the country's airspace. Warning the enemies of the Islamic Republic, he emphasized that any military action against Iran by the U.S. or other powers would lead to irreplaceable damage.
Ayatollah Khamenei also responded to U.S. President Trump's threatening and absurd statements. He warned that Iran will not tolerate the language of threats, will not surrender in an imposed war, and that any American military intervention would cause unforgettable harm.
A Reckless and Malicious Israeli Strike
During his televised address, Ayatollah Khamenei described the recent Israeli attack as foolish and malicious, asserting that it is a test of the Iranian nation's resilience and maturity. Applauding the Iranian people's timely, brave, and steadfast actions, he highlighted that it shows the nation's spiritual and rational maturation.
He stated, "We will accept neither an imposed war nor enforced peace. The Iranian nation will never capitulate to imposed peace or war. This country will not bow to any form of duress.”
He reiterated that the nation's armed forces are fully prepared and backed by both the government and the people.
A Warning to America
The Iranian supreme leader pointed to President Donald Trump's threatening and ludicrous rhetoric, stating that those familiar with Iran and its history know that the nation will not succumb to the language of threats. Americans must understand that any military action will result in severe irreparable damage.
'Israel Will Pay a Price'
Khamenei emphasized that Israel has made a grave mistake and will face serious consequences. He declared that breaching our airspace is a red line, and those who cross it will not be forgiven.
He called upon the nation's people to remain united and reassured them that the blood of their martyrs will not be wasted. He portrayed Iran's military power and morale as a testament to faith in God.
