Following the Israel-Iran ceasefire, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated that Iran will never surrender. He warned the US that any future attacks would be met with a severe response.
Iran-US: After the ceasefire between Israel and Iran on June 26th, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded publicly for the first time. In his address, he stated in no uncertain terms that Iran would not surrender to the United States or any other global power under any circumstances. He emphasized that if any country were to attack Iran in the future, it would be met with a befitting response.
"Iran Will Not Bow"
Ayatollah Khamenei, while targeting the United States, said that the real objective of the US is only to make Iran surrender. He stated that the US wants to weaken Iran's strength, but the Islamic Republic would not bow down to any kind of pressure or aggression.
"Trump Exposed America's Intentions"
In his statement, Khamenei mentioned former US President Donald Trump, saying that Trump had made it clear that the US would be satisfied only with Iran's surrender. According to Khamenei, this statement reflects the real policy and intention of the US, which seeks only dominance and not any mutual agreement or respect.
Attacks on US Military Bases in Qatar
Khamenei also mentioned the recent attacks that were allegedly carried out on US military bases located in Qatar. He said that this is part of Iran's defense policy and if the US provokes again, Iran will not delay in retaliating. He clarified that Iran's strength is now greater than ever and the country is fully prepared to face any attack.
Iran Claims "Victory" Over Israel
In his speech, Khamenei also claimed that Iran had achieved victory in the recent conflict with Israel. He said that this is not just a military victory, but it has also "slapped" the US in the face. In a video message broadcast on Iranian State Television, Khamenei said that this victory of the Islamic Republic not only signals an important change in regional politics, but also serves as a clear warning to the United States.
Clear Stance on Nuclear Program
There is often an international dispute regarding Iran's nuclear program. Many Western countries, including the US, have expressed suspicion about it. But Khamenei also clarified that Iran's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and does not violate any international agreements. He said that Western countries are afraid of Iran's scientific progress and that is why they raise issues like missiles and nuclear power.
Attack on US Military Policy
Khamenei also questioned the foreign policy of the United States and its military actions. He said that the US has interfered in West Asia for decades and has destabilized the countries of the region. He also said that US policies are only for the fulfillment of its own interests and its aim is to make regional countries fight among themselves.
