Iranian President warns against attack on Ali Khamenei

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that any attack on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would be considered a declaration of "all-out war" against the Iranian nation.

Pezeshkian's comments come amid heightened tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump said that it was "time to look for new leadership in Iran."

"Any attack on our great leader will be tantamount to an all-out war against the Iranian nation," Pezeshkian said.

The Iranian president also blamed Washington for the country's economic struggles, citing "longstanding hostility" and "inhumane sanctions" imposed by the U.S. and its allies as the primary drivers of hardship for the Iranian people.
