Iran’s Supreme Leader Warns U.S. Military Attack Will Be “Met with Irreparable Harm”

HeadlineJun 18, 2025

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that any U.S. military action in Iran will be “met with irreparable harm.” Khamenei’s warning comes a day after President Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” Trump also directly threatened Khamenei by writing on Truth Social that the U.S. knows exactly where he is, adding, “We are not going to take him out… at least not for now.” Multiple reports indicate Trump is moving closer to ordering U.S. airstrikes on Iran after months of supporting negotiations.
