In a strong message to US President Donald Trump, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iran will not surrender. He also warned that if the US takes military action, it would cause serious and lasting damage. Khamenei spoke on TV on Wednesday, one day after Trump asked Iran to surrender completely during its fight with Israel.

Khamenei said Iran will stay strong even if war is forced on them. He added that people who know Iran and its history would never try to threaten the country, because Iran will not give in. He warned the US that any attack would be costly and dangerous.

Khamenei’s statement came after US President Donald Trump gave a strong warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. He told Khamenei to “surrender unconditionally” and hinted that the US and Israel knew exactly where he was hiding.

Trump said Khamenei is an “easy target”, but they are not planning to kill him, for now. However, he warned Iran not to fire missiles at civilians or US soldiers and said America’s patience is running out. This means that if the conflict gets worse, the US might take stronger action, even possibly going after Khamenei.

Earlier, on his Truth Social account, Trump said he had given Iran many chances to make a deal, but they failed. He warned that if Iran doesn’t listen, the US and Israel could use powerful military weapons, which are the best in the world.Trump also said that many Iranian leaders who had spoken bravely in the past are now dead, and warned that things could get even worse if Iran continues its actions.
