Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded sharply to US President Donald Trump’s call for Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” warning that any American military intervention would cause “irreparable damage.” In a televised address on Wednesday, Khamenei said Iran would not yield to threats or “imposed war.” He declared, “The Iranian nation will not surrender, and intelligent people don’t threaten a nation like ours.” The message comes amid escalating tensions following Israeli strikes and growing US involvement in the region. Trump has vowed full aerial control over Iran but has not yet launched a direct military offensive. (PC: India Today)
