Khamenei warns US of consequences over confrontation

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has sharply rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's threats. Khamenei claimed that the U.S. will not succeed through intimidation. He warned that any aggressive actions against Iran would lead to strong retaliation. In his statements, Khamenei emphasized that Iran is not the aggressor. He declared that any provocations would result in serious consequences for the U.S. He said, "Americans should know, threats will get them nowhere." This comes amidst rising tensions between the two nations. Alongside Khamenei's remarks, Trump's administration has imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran. This is the fourth wave of sanctions aimed at tightening restrictions on Iran's crucial oil exports. The U.S. has accused Iran of supporting militant groups, which has further increased tensions. Additionally, Trump warned Iran to immediately stop its support for the Houthi rebels in Yemen. He stated that if Iran continues to provide aid, it could lead to serious losses for the militia. The situation continues to develop as both sides prepare for potential escalations.
