Imposed peace or war is unacceptable; says Ayatollah Khamenei

Tehran: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has declared that Iran will not accept imposed peace or war.

In a televised address to the nation, Ayatollah Khamenei warned that “Israel has made a huge mistake and will face consequences.”

He emphasized that Iran will never forget the blood of its martyrs or attacks on its soil. “The enemy is attempting to sow discord among Muslim nations,” he stated.

Khamenei stressed that the Iranian nation will not let the sacrifices of its martyrs go in vain and will not remain silent over violations of its airspace.

He warned that “the Zionist regime will have to pay the price for its actions,” adding that those familiar with Iran’s history know how it responds to threats. “Any US military intervention will undoubtedly result in irreparable damage,” he cautioned.

Ayatollah Khamenei further said that the US must understand that Iran will not surrender. “The Iranian military, backed by the government, is fully prepared to defend the nation,” he affirmed.

He concluded by stating that the Iranian people will not bow to any imposed peace and will never surrender under pressure.
