Mohtaba Khamenei issued an ultimatum to the U.S. and Israel and rejected peace
Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has officially rejected proposals for de-escalating the conflict that were conveyed to Tehran through two mediating countries.
He has made a radical demand that Israel and the United States must first be “brought to their knees.”
A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Khamenei held his first foreign policy session in his new role.
During the meeting, the leader adopted an uncompromising stance of vengeance, which sources describe as “very harsh and serious.”
The Supreme Leader made it clear that he does not intend to make diplomatic concessions in the near future.
“Now is not the right time for peace until the U.S. and Israel are brought to their knees, admit defeat, and pay compensation,” he stated.
These aggressive remarks came amid personnel changes at the top of the Iranian leadership following the elimination of the country’s previous leader.
Mohtaba Khamenei is attempting to demonstrate strength and unwavering commitment to a confrontational course with the Western world.
It is worth noting that the supreme leader’s physical condition remains a subject of debate in international intelligence circles.
Some Iranian officials confirm that Khamenei sustained minor injuries during the attacks that killed his father.
Recall that Iran is facing defeat, even with possible Russian intervention.
Trump also explained why Iran has not yet surrendered.
