Iran “will not surrender.” That’s the fiery vow from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Israeli warplanes pound the capital, Tehran, for a sixth straight day.
Now the world is watching Washington as President Donald Trump inches closer to direct military involvement. In a defiant post, Khamenei mocked Trump’s rhetoric and warned that any U.S. intervention would cause “irreparable damage.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry took it further, telling Al Jazeera that American intervention would ignite all-out war in the region. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is quietly building up troops and firepower in the Middle East, and Trump is openly taunting Iran’s leadership on social media, calling the ayatollah an “easy target” while demanding “unconditional surrender.”
On the ground, Israel says it struck more than 1,100 sites, including key nuclear enrichment facilities. Iran has now fired its hypersonic Fattah-1 missile — a move to showcase its power.
