- Khamenei declares Trump’s ultimatum as "unacceptable."
- “We must respond vigorously to the Zionist regime,” he insists.
- Russian officials claim Israeli air strikes brought the world "dangerously close to disaster."
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated on Wednesday that the nation will never capitulate to the demands of President Donald Trump. He warned that the U.S. would incur "irreparable damage" if it intervened on behalf of its ally in the region.
This strong stance came six days into a conflict that escalated after Trump called for Iran’s "unconditional surrender," hinting at the possibility of U.S. intervention while claiming that the America could easily eliminate Khamenei if desired.
The hostilities intensified last Friday, following a major bombing campaign launched by Israel, which prompted an Iranian response involving missiles and drones.
In a televised address, Khamenei proclaimed, "This nation will never surrender," describing Trump’s demands as "unacceptable." He further emphasized, "America should be aware that any military action will inevitably lead to severe consequences."
Earlier statements from Khamenei indicated that Iran would show no mercy towards its longstanding adversary, particularly after Trump insisted on Tehran’s "unconditional surrender." "We must deliver a firm response to the terrorist Zionist regime," Khamenei posted on X.
Khamenei’s comments followed a series of air strikes that destroyed two buildings associated with the production of centrifuge components necessary for Iran’s nuclear program, as reported by the UN nuclear watchdog. The Israeli military confirmed that over 50 fighter jets conducted operations in the Tehran area, targeting various military and weapons production sites.
Centrifuges are crucial for uranium enrichment, a sensitive process that can generate fuel for reactors or, in more extended forms, serve as critical components for nuclear weapons.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced they had launched hypersonic Fattah-1 missiles aimed at Tel Aviv. These missiles can travel at speeds exceeding five times that of sound and are designed to maneuver during flight, complicating detection and interception.
Additionally, Iran dispatched a "swarm of drones" towards Israel, which the Israeli military claimed to have intercepted ten drones launched from Iranian territory. They also reported that one of their drones had been shot down over Iran.
‘Unconditional Surrender’
Trump raised eyebrows regarding potential U.S. military intervention when he abruptly left the G7 summit in Canada, where global leaders advocated for de-escalation while supporting Israel’s right to defend itself. He boasted on his Truth Social platform that the U.S. could easily target Khamenei, stating, "We know exactly where the ‘Supreme Leader’ is. He’s an easy target, but he’s safe there—at least for now."
Following an hour and twenty-minute meeting with his National Security Council to discuss the situation, no immediate decision regarding intervention was publicly shared. U.S. officials emphasized that Trump had not yet made a definitive call for military action.
Israeli air strikes have hit not only military and nuclear facilities within Iran but also affected civilian areas. In Israel, some residents spent another night responding to air raid sirens, with many in coastal Tel Aviv seeking shelter from incoming Iranian missiles.
In Ramallah, located at 800 meters (around 2,600 feet) above sea level, crowds gathered on rooftops to witness the events unfold. An AFP journalist reported cheers and whistles as missile intercepts lit up the skies over the city.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties. At least 24 individuals have lost their lives and hundreds have been injured in Israel since Friday, according to officials. Conversely, Iran claims that Israeli strikes have killed at least 224, including military leaders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
Reports from Iran’s ISNA and Tasnim news agencies indicated that five suspected agents of the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency had been arrested, accused of undermining the nation’s reputation online.
‘Nuclear Facilities’
After years of clandestine hostilities, Israel stated that its surprise air campaign aims to hinder Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons—an ambition that Tehran denies. The UN nuclear watchdog reported that there appeared to be "direct impacts on the underground enrichment facilities" at Iran’s Natanz site.
While Israel has not openly disclosed its own nuclear capabilities, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates that it possesses around 90 nuclear warheads.
The conflict has disrupted ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, with Iran stating it will not engage in talks while under attack.
