Iran's President Threatens War if Khamenei Targeted
In a chilling warning, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that any attack on the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would be considered a full-scale war against the Iranian nation. This ominous statement comes amid growing speculation about potential plans to target or assassinate Khamenei.
Pezeshkian's warning was issued in response to rumors that US President Donald Trump is considering an attempt to remove or harm Khamenei. The Iranian president's statement serves as a stark reminder of the country's willingness to retaliate aggressively if its supreme leader is threatened.
The tensions between Iran and the US have escalated in recent weeks, with protests rocking the country over soaring inflation, economic hardship, and widespread discontent with the government. Trump has called for an end to Khamenei's nearly 40-year rule, describing him as "a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people."
Iranian authorities responded to the growing unrest by imposing a near-total shutdown of internet and phone services, cutting off global connectivity in an effort to suppress communication and stifle independent reporting. The situation has been further complicated by reports of US plans to strike Iran, although ultimately, no action was taken.
The situation remains volatile, with at least 5,000 people reported dead in the protests, including security personnel. Khamenei himself acknowledged for the first time that thousands had been killed, blaming the US for the death toll and calling for strict punishment of protesters.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that Iran will not take any threat against its supreme leader lying down. With tensions running high between Iran and the US, the world watches with bated breath as the situation teeters on the brink of chaos.
