The Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated this Wednesday that his country will not surrender, on the sixth day of open confrontation with Israel, and issued a strong warning message to the United States.
"The Iranian nation firmly opposes an imposed war, just as it will firmly oppose an imposed peace. This nation will never surrender to the dictates of anyone," Khamenei stated, according to an official statement read by a host on state television, the day after U.S. President Donald Trump demanded unconditional surrender from the Islamic regime.
He also added, "Americans must know that any military intervention on their part will entail irreparable damage."
Earlier, Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, warned in an interview with Al Jazeera English that "any U.S. intervention would be the precursor to total war in the region." He did not provide further details, but thousands of U.S. soldiers are stationed in countries within reach of Iranian weapons. Washington has threatened a massive response to any attack.
