Iran's Leader Speaks Amidst Escalating U.S.-Israel War
In a public statement, Iran's supreme leader addresses the ongoing conflict as the U.S. and Israel wage war against the country.
Iran's supreme leader has issued his first statement since the outbreak of the war with the U.S. and Israel, as the conflict rages on its 13th day. Mojtaba Khamenei, who is the son of the late Ayatollah Khomeini and considered the successor to the current supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spoke on state media, rallying the nation to continue the fight against the invading forces.
The statement comes as the U.S. and Israel have launched a massive military offensive against Iran, targeting the country's key military and infrastructure sites. Intense airstrikes, missile attacks, and ground operations have resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with neither showing any signs of backing down.
