Khamenei warns Israel will face consequences for military action

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is now delivering a televised address, according to Mehr News Agency.

In his speech, Khamenei said Iran “will stand firm against an imposed war, just as it will stand firm against an imposed peace,” as reported by Tasnim.

“This nation will not surrender to anyone in the face of imposition,” he added.

Khamenei also referred to remarks made by US President Donald Trump, stressing that “those who know Iran and its history know that Iranians do not answer well to the language of threat”.

He warned: “The Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage.”

We’ll bring more from his address as it comes in.
