Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued a stern warning to the United States, declaring that any attempt by Washington to destabilize Iran will be met with reciprocal actions.
In a statement on his verified Twitter account, Khamenei wrote, "If the US disrupts the security of our nation, we will definitely disrupt their security as well." His remarks come just days after current US President Donald Trump expressed intentions to take control of Gaza following a ceasefire in the region.
Trump's comments about Gaza have sparked widespread reactions, with many viewing them as an indication of a larger US role in post-war arrangements. Iran, a staunch supporter of Palestinian groups, has long opposed American and Israeli influence in Gaza and the broader Middle East. Khamenei's warning suggests that Tehran sees Trump's plans as a potential threat to regional stability and Iran's strategic interests.
The Supreme Leader's statement also highlights the ongoing hostility between Tehran and Washington, which has persisted despite previous diplomatic efforts. The US has repeatedly accused Iran of backing militant groups that threaten regional security, while Iran claims it is resisting American interference.
