Khamenei reacts strongly to assassination threats from Trump, Israel

TEHRAN: Following a series of assassination threats from US President Donald Trump and Israeli leaders, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a stern response.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, Ayatollah Khamenei declared that Iran would respond with full force against the “terrorist Zionist regime,” vowing ruthless action against its leadership.

This comes a day after President Trump, in a separate post on social media, demanded Iran’s complete surrender, stating that he had no interest in negotiations and was committed to the total dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program.

Trump threatened the Iranian Supreme Leader, saying that he knew where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is, he is an easy target, but we are not killing him yet.

Earlier, there were reports that Israel had planned to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader, which was vetoed by the US president.
