Tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate, with Tehran condemning Israel’s airstrikes and emphasizing its defensive stance.
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baqaei stated on Wednesday (18 June) that the goals of the Islamic Republic of Iran have so far been defensive, targeting only military sites. He accused Israel of killing Iranian civilians.
On the same day, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for Iran’s unconditional surrender.
Intense Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, the capital of Iran, have forced thousands to flee to safer areas. Amid these tensions, Türkiye has strengthened security measures along its border with Iran.
Although Trump initially called for a swift diplomatic resolution to the conflict, he later indicated that the U.S. might join the conflict. In social media posts, Trump has contemplated assassinating Supreme Leader Khamenei and demanded Iran’s surrender.
According to sources, Trump and his team are also discussing joint strikes with Israel on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
