Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has declared that continued Israeli attacks could provoke an unstoppable response from Muslim and resistance forces. During a meeting with accomplished figures in science, culture, art, and sports, Khamenei emphasized the duty of intellectuals and scientists not to tolerate oppression or hunger among the oppressed. He called for a global trial of the Israeli regime, citing the widely witnessed Palestinian genocide.

Khamenei warned that the anger among Muslims regarding Israeli attacks is palpable and widespread, both within Islamic and some Western countries. He refuted claims that those in Israeli settlements are unarmed civilians, stating that the regime targets civilians intentionally. Khamenei blamed the United States for orchestrating the recent attacks and called for an immediate halt to the bombings.
