Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any United States attack on Iran would lead to a regional war. He issued the warning during a speech on Saturday, according to Press TV. Khamenei said the United States should understand that initiating a conflict would not remain limited to Iran alone. He emphasized that the Iranian nation is not intimidated by threats or displays of military power.

Khamenei noted that American threats of war are not new, recalling that US officials have repeatedly said all options, including military action, remain on the table. Responding to threats from US President Donald Trump, he stated that the Iranian people are not influenced by such rhetoric. He reiterated that Iran would not start a war but would respond firmly to any aggression.

The remarks underscore Tehran’s stance of deterrence amid ongoing tensions with Washington, signaling that any confrontation could have broader regional consequences.
