Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has accused the United States and Israel of attempting to “bring the nation to its knees” as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise. The remarks came amid ongoing conflict, renewed threats over the Strait of Hormuz, and fragile diplomatic efforts involving Washington and Tehran. Khamenei warned that Iran would continue resisting external pressure and retaliate against any aggression targeting the country or its allies. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has signalled that negotiations with Iran are still possible despite military tensions. Regional instability has also intensified fears of wider conflict affecting oil routes, Gulf security, and global markets. (PC: Reuters)
