Ali Khamenei: Any U.S. Military Entry Will Bring Irreparable Damage
Ali Khamenei, through a video message, warned of irreparable damage to America in the event of military intervention in Iran.
Ali Khamenei, who has not been seen since Israel’s attack on Friday and has not appeared in public, released his second recorded video message.
In this video message, he stated: “Americans, those who are familiar with the policies of this region, know that America’s involvement in this matter is one hundred percent against its own interests. The damage that America will sustain in this regard is far greater than any damage Iran could endure. If America enters the military arena in this conflict, it will suffer irreparable damage.”
He continued his remarks by saying: “The Iranian nation will stand firm against imposed war, just as it will stand firm against imposed peace, and this nation will not surrender to any imposition. This incident occurred when our officials were engaged in indirect negotiations with America and there was no sign of any rapid military movement or harsh action from Iran. Of course, from the beginning it was suspected that America was involved in this malicious move by the Zionist regime, and with recent statements by American officials, this suspicion has grown stronger day by day.
The Zionist enemy must be punished and is indeed being punished, and the punishment that the Iranian nation and armed forces have inflicted on this treacherous enemy and are continuing to inflict, and have plans for in the future, is severe and has weakened it. The fact that their American friends enter the scene is an indication of the weakness and incapability of the Zionist regime.”
Ali Khamenei’s recorded video was released after Donald Trump claimed last night, Tuesday, June 17, equivalent to June 27, that he knows his exact hiding location but does not currently intend to kill him. Donald Trump posted a message on the Truth Social network last night stating: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but he is safe there. We do not intend to eliminate (kill) him, at least not for now.” Trump then added “Unconditional surrender.”
Ali Khamenei also spoke of the weakness of the Israeli army while some military experts stated that Israel’s relentless attacks on military facilities and missile launchers across Iran have severely weakened the IRGC’s missile capabilities.
Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with ABC News, did not rule out the possibility of Khamenei’s death, but stated: “This would not escalate the conflict, but would end it.” When asked by the reporter whether he would order the elimination of Ali Khamenei, he said: “We will do what is necessary.”
