On national television, the Iranian supreme guide Ali Khamenei launched a scathing warning to the United States, denouncing any attempt to impose a war or peace on the Islamic Republic.
“These people will not go to anyone in the face of taxation,” he said in a firm tone, in a speech broadcast by the Tasnim and Mehr agencies. “Iran will resist an imposed war as well as an imposed peace. »»
This speaking comes as tensions reach a new summit in the region, a week after Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.
US President Donald Trump, particularly virulent on social networks, called Khamenei as a “easy target”, calling on Tuesday to an “unconditional surrender” of Iran.
A rhetoric deemed provocative by Tehran. Without a directly named Trump, Khamenei tackled those who “know neither the history nor the character of the Iranian people”. “Those who really know this nation know that it does not respond to the language of threats. »»
The supreme guide warned: Any American military intervention would be greeted by “serious and irreparable consequences”.
In a context of climbing, where diplomacy seems marginalized by the smacas of ultimatums, Khamenei’s words resonate as a strategic deterrence attempt. But also as a clear signal: Tehran will not back down.
