Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has publicly rebuffed former U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for “unconditional surrender,” condemning the call as “absurd” and warning that any American military intervention would inflict “irreparable damage” on the U.S. . His televised statement highlights Iran’s determination, dismissing the idea that conflict or peace can be externally imposed. The remarks follow intense Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets, with Iran retaliating via hundreds of missiles and drones—causing casualties on both sides. Khamenei also reaffirmed Iran’s peaceful uranium enrichment program, declaring it will continue. (PC: India Today)
