Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a warning against US threats, asserting they would not be effective and that any actions taken would result in a severe response. He denied Iranian proxies’ involvement in regional conflicts and rejected President Trump’s demands for a nuclear agreement, calling them a deception.
On Friday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addressed threats from the United States during a televised speech to mark Nowruz. He asserted that such threats would not deter Iran, issuing a warning that any malicious actions against the country would provoke a “severe blow” in retaliation. Khamenei emphasized, “The Americans should know that threats will not work in confronting Iran.”
In his address, Khamenei refuted claims regarding the existence of Iranian “proxies” in the region, particularly in response to US President Donald Trump’s allegations concerning Iranian support for the Houthis in Yemen. He stated, “The Yemeni people have their own motivations, and the resistance groups in the region also have their own goals. Iran does not need proxies.”
Additionally, there were reports that President Trump had sent a message to Khamenei, demanding a new nuclear agreement within two months and threatening military action otherwise. Khamenei rejected Trump’s invitation to negotiate, branding it a “deception” intended to mislead the global public opinion under the guise of maximum pressure tactics.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s recent comments reflect Iran’s firm stance against US threats, emphasizing that any aggression will be met with a severe response. He also clarified misconceptions regarding Iran’s involvement with regional proxies and dismissed US pressure regarding nuclear negotiations as deceptive. This indicates a continued tension between Iran and the United States on multiple fronts.
