TEHRAN (Iran News) – Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday Iran does not seek war, but it will unhesitatingly confront and strike those who threaten the Iranian people’s interests, dignity and glory.
“If the Islamic Republic decides to challenge and fight, it will do so unequivocally. We’re not after wars, but we strongly defend the Iranian nation’s interests, dignity, and glory. If anyone threatens that, we will unhesitatingly confront and strike them,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader described the Iranian nation as being “courageous, vigilant and ready for action on all fronts.
The leader of Iran added, “Contrary to certain propositions that a war would break out, we shall never drive the country in the direction of the war. However, if others attempt to impose anything on our country, we shall stand against them with all our might.”
In a tweet on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump accused Iran of “orchestrating” that day’s storming of the US Embassy in Baghdad by protesters angry over the American airstrikes on Iraq’ popular mobilization fighters.
“Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE!”
In response, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “That guy has tweeted that we (the United States) see Iran responsible for the events in Baghdad and we will respond to Iran.
“First, you can’t do anything. Second, if you were logical – which you are not – you’d see that your crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan… have made nations hate you.”
