Mojtaba Khamenei warns against aggression in a strong message, saying Iran does not seek war with the United States or Israel but will firmly defend its national rights. His statement comes at a critical time as tensions remain high despite a recent ceasefire.
In his written message shared on state television, the new Iranian leader made it clear that peace remains the preferred path. However, he stressed that Iran will not step back from what it sees as its legitimate rights under any circumstances.
Mojtaba Khamenei warns against aggression while also sending a clear signal to regional rivals. He said those responsible for attacks on Iran will not escape punishment, calling them “criminal aggressors.” His remarks appear to point towards ongoing tensions involving Israel and its conflict with Iran’s allies in the region.
The statement follows a fragile two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The truce has opened the door for possible negotiations after strong warnings from US President Donald Trump in recent weeks.
Mojtaba Khamenei warns against aggression at a time when Iran is also reviewing its strategic position in the region. He revealed that the management of the Strait of Hormuz will enter a new phase, hinting at possible changes in how Iran handles this critical oil route.
He also urged neighboring countries to closely watch the fast-changing situation in the region and take a clear and informed position. According to him, recent developments carry significant importance for the future of the Middle East.
Despite the ceasefire, Khamenei encouraged citizens to remain active and continue expressing their views. He said public presence and voices in the streets can still influence the direction of ongoing negotiations.
The new leader has not appeared in public since taking office after the death of his father earlier this year. Reports suggest he was injured in the same attack, though officials say he is recovering. His messages have been delivered through written statements broadcast on state television.
