Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, stated on Wednesday that Israel's attack on Iran is a significant error. In response to US President Donald Trump's warning for Iran to "unconditionally surrender," Khamenei emphasized that Tehran does not respond favorably to threats.
"Israel has made a grave mistake and will face consequences for it," he declared during a speech. He asserted that Iran will not accept a peace or war that is imposed upon it.
Addressing Trump's threats, Khamenei remarked, "Those familiar with Iran's history understand that Iranians do not respond well to threats." He also delivered a strong warning to the United States, stating, "They should recognize that Iran will not capitulate, and any US attack will result in serious, irreversible consequences."
Early Wednesday, a series of intense Israeli airstrikes struck the Iranian capital, marking a significant escalation in a week-long military campaign aimed at undermining Iran's nuclear and military capabilities. These attacks occurred just hours after Donald Trump urged residents of Tehran to evacuate and called for Iran's "unconditional surrender."

He is an easy target but is currently safe. We are not planning to take him out—at least not for now. However, we do not want missiles aimed at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter," he posted on Truth Social.
