Tehran, June 18, 2025 – The Iranian government has officially responded for the first time to recent threats made by the United States and Israel, following reports of an alleged assassination attempt targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In a strongly worded statement issued today, Iranian officials declared:
“If Donald Trump approves any attack against Ayatollah Khamenei, a devastating storm will erupt that will annihilate those responsible for this crime, along with all their supporters.”
The warning is being viewed as a clear threat of large-scale retaliation should any military or covert action be taken against Iran’s top leadership. It highlights the rapidly intensifying tensions in the region, especially between Iran and Western powers.
Neither the U.S. nor Israel has officially responded to Iran’s remarks, but regional security analysts warn this may signal the beginning of a new and dangerous phase in the shadow conflict between Iran and its adversaries.
