Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that the United States will face "unforgettable lessons" if it continues attacks on Iran, accusing Washington of repeatedly breaching a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU). In a statement read on state television, Khamenei called the US signature "utterly worthless and invalid" and said bullying and savagery are inseparable from American doctrine.
The US escalated attacks this week by targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, including bridges and water plants, while Tehran struck civilian sites in Kuwait. The US-Israeli war, ongoing since February, is seen as existential by Iran's leadership. Khamenei urged Iranians to remain vigilant, as reports suggest Houthis may close the Bab al-Mandeb strait, destabilizing global energy markets and increasing pressure on Trump to halt attacks.
