Iranian president says any aggression at supreme leader constitutes ‘all-out war’

On Jan. 18, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned any attack on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be a declaration of all-out war amid U.S. tensions.
Responding to U.S. remarks, U.S. President Donald Trump urged new leadership in Iran on Saturday and said `The man is a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people`, escalating tensions.
A communications blackout since January 8 has hampered independent verification, though Netblocks reported a brief filtered restoration before traffic fell again; Norway-based Iran Human Rights verified 3,428 deaths, while other estimates exceed 5,000 and possibly 20,000.
Solidarity rallies continued in Berlin, London and Paris while Masoud Pezeshkian urged lifting internet restrictions soon and Fars news agency reported the Irancell chief was dismissed Sunday.
The broader context shows Tehran-Washington relations remain fraught since Donald Trump's return, marked by his 'maximum pressure' policy and threats of military action if protesters die.
