Khamenei Warns United States Against Provocations Toward Iran

Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, stated that Tehran does not use proxies and warned the U.S. against actions perceived as aggression. His statements addressed U.S. accountability for attacks by the Houthi group, which Trump asserted Iran supports, emphasizing that any interference with Iran would lead to severe consequences.

On Friday, Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, emphasized that Tehran does not operate through proxies in the region, asserting that the groups it supports act autonomously. His remarks follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration that Iran would be held accountable for any actions taken by the Yemeni Houthi movement, which the U.S. claims to be supported by Iran. Khamenei further warned, “America needs to know that if it messes with Iran, it will receive a severe slap.”

The recent statements from Iran’s Supreme Leader indicate a firm stance against U.S. accusations of Iranian influence over regional groups. Khamenei’s comments aim to clarify Iran’s position while simultaneously cautioning the United States regarding potential retaliatory actions.
