Leader of the Islamic Revolution: Iran’s Victory Over Israel-U.S. Is a Historic Turning Point
Ayatollah Khamenei hails military and national triumph in face of aggression, calls American demand for surrender a ridiculous insult to the Iranian nation.”
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM — In a powerful video message addressed to the Iranian people, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, celebrated what he called a “triple victory” over the Zionist regime, the United States, and in the unprecedented national unity shown by the Iranian people.
The speech, marking the third video message from the Leader following the Israeli-American aggression against Iran, was filled with firm condemnations, spiritual praise for martyrs, and unshakable confidence in the nation's resistance.
Victory Over the Zionist Regime
Ayatollah Khamenei praised the performance of Iran’s Armed Forces, especially the IRGC Aerospace Division, for delivering powerful and precise strikes that overwhelmed Israel’s multilayered air defenses.
“The Zionist regime, with all its noise and bravado, was crushed under the strikes of the Islamic Republic,” he declared.
“They never imagined such blows were possible — and yet it happened.”
He described the operation as a major divine blessing and a stark message to Israel that “any aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a heavy cost.”
Defeating the U.S. Military Intervention
The Leader emphasized that the United States had entered the battlefield directly to rescue Israel, fearing its total collapse — and yet failed to achieve any of its objectives.
“The American regime launched attacks on our nuclear facilities — actions that deserve independent criminal pursuit in international courts,” he stated.
“But they achieved nothing. Their exaggerated claims only reveal their desperation to hide the truth.”
He pointed specifically to Iran’s retaliatory strike on the al-Udeid base in Qatar, a key American military hub in the region:
“This was no small event. The Islamic Republic reached one of America’s most critical regional bases and inflicted damage. This will be repeatable if aggression continues.”
A Historic Moment of National Unity
Ayatollah Khamenei lauded the Iranian people’s unprecedented unity throughout the crisis:
“Nearly 90 million people stood shoulder to shoulder — one voice, one stance, one will. This nation proved that when the time comes, it speaks with one tongue.”
He credited the armed forces’ strength to the people themselves, who raised, supported, and empowered them.
On the American Demand for Surrender
The Leader’s strongest rebuke came in response to recent remarks by the U.S. President, who reportedly said “Iran must surrender.”
“The word ‘surrender’ is too big for the mouth of the American President,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“This great Iran — with its deep-rooted history, culture, and steel national resolve — will never accept surrender.”
He exposed Washington’s long-standing hostility, masked by various pretexts — from human rights to missile programs — all meant to weaken Iran into submission.
“Their true demand has always been Iran’s surrender. Now it has been openly declared. Let every Iranian know: this will never happen.”
A Closing Prayer and Vision
The speech ended with a spiritual note, invoking divine protection for the Iranian nation and reaffirming confidence in future victories:
“The Iranian nation is dear and will remain dear. It is victorious and will remain victorious, by God’s grace,” the Leader said.
“May the Imam of the Age [Imam Mahdi] be pleased with this nation and may his support always be with us.”
Ayatollah Khamenei’s statement marks a new chapter in Iran’s strategic posture — firmly asserting its defensive strength, national resolve, and total rejection of biased international mediation.
With clear and uncompromising language, Ayatollah Khamenei portrayed Iran’s confrontation as a civilizational mission against imperialist and Zionist hegemony. (ARN)
