Iran Supreme Leader statement
Iran Supreme Leader statement released by Mojtaba Khamenei during Nowruz addresses war tensions and resilience against the U.S. and Israel.
Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has released a new statement as the country celebrates Nowruz, the Persian New Year. The message was shared in written form and broadcast through state media.
In the statement, Khamenei praised the Iranian people for their resilience, saying their unity and sacrifices had dealt a strong blow to opposing forces. He claimed that expectations of internal collapse were a “miscalculation.”
The message also referenced ongoing tensions with United States and Israel, stating that external pressure had failed to weaken the country.
Khamenei, who assumed leadership after the death of his father Ali Khamenei, has remained largely out of public view during the conflict. Reports about his condition remain unclear, with some officials suggesting he may have been injured.
The statement comes at a critical time, as Iran continues to navigate ongoing military and political challenges.
