Khamenei promised that U.S. aggression against Iran would become a regional conflict.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei promised that any aggression by the USA against the Islamic Republic would become a regional conflict. This was reported by Tasnim.
According to the Iranian leader, Tehran does not seek to start wars and does not intend to attack other countries, but will give a tough response to any aggressor. "The people of Iran will firmly resist anyone who attacks and causes harm," he emphasized.
Khamenei also urged the Iranian people not to fear statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the deployment of significant military forces to the Middle East.
On January 19, an American naval strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln headed to the Middle East. In particular, it was reported that the vessel entered the Strait of Malacca on its way to Iran.
