In his third televised address to the Iranian nation following the recent Zionist aggression, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei praised the Iranian people and armed forces for their steadfastness and unity saying Iran will never surrender, referring to the US president's remarks.
Ayatollah Khamenei commemorated the fallen commanders and scientists, calling their sacrifice a source of pride.
The Leader declared Iran’s military response a clear victory, stating that the Zionist regime, caught off guard, was severely weakened under Iran’s missile and drone strikes.
He emphasized that Tel Aviv had never imagined the Islamic Republic capable of such a blow, adding that this attack proved any aggression against Iran comes at a heavy cost.
The Leader also described the United States’ involvement in the conflict as a strategic failure. Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Washington intervened to save Israel but failed to achieve its objectives, and instead suffered a significant strike on its Al-Udeid base.
He further hailed the “extraordinary unity” of the Iranian people, noting that the nation stood shoulder to shoulder in defending national honor.
Criticizing recent remarks by the U.S. President demanding Iran’s “surrender,” he stated that such language reveals Washington’s true aim: the complete submission of Iran.
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, “This will never happen. Iran is great, proud, and undefeatable.”
