🇮🇷 Tehran Takes a Stand: Khamenei Accuses U.S. of Seeking 'Submission'
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei delivered a fiery speech Sunday, framing U.S.-Iran tensions as a battle for national pride. "They want obedience – but we’ll never bow," he declared, calling Washington’s perceived demands "offensive to our sovereignty." 🚫🤝
No Talks, No Compromise
Khamenei shut down speculation about direct negotiations with America, citing "decades of hostility since 1979." He claimed U.S.-linked groups plotted a "post-Islamic Republic" strategy after a June 13 attack, even floating a monarchy proposal – efforts he says "crumbled like a sandcastle" against Iran’s resilience. 🏰💥
Unity Call Amid Rising Tensions
The leader urged support for new President Masoud Pezeshkian, warning: "Our enemies want division – we answer with unity." He also doubled down on regional stances, condemning Israel’s Gaza campaign and praising Yemen’s Houthi rebels for their "principled resistance." ✊🌍
