Iran's Leader Accuses US, Israel of Seeking to Subjugate Nation

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has accused the United States and Israel of attempting to "bring the country to its knees" through a strategy of division and destruction. Khamenei's remarks, conveyed via state television, followed recent hostilities that marked the most significant escalation since an April 8th ceasefire.

He asserted that the "enemy's blind plan," encompassing economic pressure, political attacks, and propaganda, aims to create internal discord to compensate for military setbacks. Khamenei delivered this message during an address marking the anniversary of the Iranian parliament, where he reiterated calls for national unity and cohesion among Iranians.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, succeeded his father, Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in the initial US-Israeli strikes on February 28th. These strikes prompted Tehran's retaliatory actions across the region. The new Supreme Leader himself sustained injuries during these attacks and has not appeared publicly since.

According to a May 25th statement from the Iranian Ministry of Health spokesperson, Khamenei suffered "superficial injuries to the face, head, and legs." Earlier, on April 13th, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had stated that Khamenei "was injured and possibly disfigured."
