Iran's Khamenei Warns of 'All-Out War' if U.S. Joins Israeli Strikes, Rejects Trump's Call for Surrender
- On June 18, 2025, Iran's highest political and religious authority delivered a televised address from Tehran, affirming the nation’s resolve not to yield amid rising tensions with Israel.
- The message followed nearly a week of Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and missile sites and U.S. President Trump's call for Iran's unconditional surrender.
- Khamenei vowed Iran would never surrender, threatened severe retaliation, warned U.S. military involvement would cause irreparable damage, and affirmed Iranian forces' readiness to defend the country.
- Human rights organizations report that over 585 people have died and more than 1,300 have been injured in Iran, while in response, Iran launched approximately 400 missiles along with numerous drones, resulting in at least 24 fatalities and hundreds of injuries in Israel amid ongoing strikes and evacuation alerts.
- Experts predict U.S. intervention could escalate the war, pushing Iran to exit nuclear treaties and attack U.S. interests, increasing risks of wider regional instability.
