Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared on Monday that tensions with the U.S. stem from irreconcilable ideological divides—not temporary policy spats—calling Washington's recent outreach “incompatible” with its ongoing support for Israel. 🔥
Speaking ahead of Student Day, which marks the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Khamenei accused America of being a “center for plotting” against Iran. He cited documents allegedly seized during the embassy takeover as proof of U.S. efforts to undermine the Islamic Revolution. 📜
“The conflict isn’t about tactics—it’s about clashing interests,” he told students, likening current U.S. policies to historical grievances. Khamenei set strict conditions for cooperation: ending U.S. backing for Israel, withdrawing troops from the region, and halting “interference” in local affairs. 🕊️
The remarks come as regional tensions simmer, with young Iranians increasingly vocal about economic struggles. Will this hardline stance resonate globally? Analysts say it’s a high-stakes game of diplomatic chess. ♟️
