In a strong message to the United States, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any American military intervention in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict would lead to “irreparable damage.”
Khamenei’s statement, delivered amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, emphasized that Iran “will never surrender” despite mounting international pressure. The warning comes after reports of widespread strikes and counter-strikes between Iranian and Israeli forces.
“If the United States chooses to intervene in this matter, they must be prepared for irreparable damage,” Khamenei declared.
According to Iranian officials, the Supreme Leader’s remarks were aimed at deterring Washington from further involvement in the region. Iran’s foreign ministry reiterated the warning, saying U.S. interference would trigger an “all-out war” with devastating consequences.
The tensions have further intensified following a viral post from Khamenei quoting: “In the name of the renowned Haydar, the battle begins”—a symbolic and religiously charged phrase widely interpreted as a formal escalation.
While the United States has not formally declared involvement, former President Donald Trump weighed in by calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and hinted at possible military action if the situation deteriorates.
The conflict has already begun to ripple globally, with oil prices rising and governments issuing travel advisories. Evacuations are underway in key Iranian and Israeli cities, and U.S. military assets have reportedly been repositioned in the region as a precaution.
The situation remains tense, and the international community is closely watching for signs of escalation or possible diplomatic resolution.
