In his televised address, Ali Khamenei stated, “Those who know Iran understand how we respond to threats. Whether it is war or peace, if anyone tries to impose it on us, we will not accept it.” He emphasized that Iran is a proud and sovereign nation that will never bow to external pressure.
Referring to the recent Israeli attack on Iran, Khamenei said, “Israel has made a grave mistake. It will be punished for its criminal actions. The Iranian people will never forget the blood of our martyrs.”
He also warned the U.S. against any military intervention, stating again that “Iran will never surrender.” He assured the nation that Iranian armed forces are fully prepared and have been actively responding to every hostile move.
“This attack is not only a violation of international law, but also a serious threat to peace and stability in the Middle East,” Khamenei added. “Our response will be powerful and precise. We are responding and we will continue to respond with full force.”
He concluded his address by reiterating that the Iranian leadership is united, committed, and ready to confront any American interference with strength and resilience.
