In a statement delivered by a television host on Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that his nation would not abide by US President Donald Trump’s demand for an unconditional surrender.
Khamenei stated that the Islamic Republic could not be forced to choose between peace and war in his first comments since he gave a statement on state TV on Friday following Israel’s bombardment of Iran.
Because the Iranian nation would not submit, he claimed, “intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation, and its history will never speak to this nation in threatening language.”
“The Americans ought to be aware that any military action by the United States will surely result in irreversible harm.”
