Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, warning that any American military action would bring severe consequences.
In a televised statement, Khamenei made his first public remarks since Friday, when Israel launched airstrikes across Iran. He stressed that peace or war could not be dictated to the Islamic Republic.
“Intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation, and its history will never speak to this nation in threatening language because the Iranian nation will not surrender,” he said. “The Americans should know that any U.S. military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage.”
