Iran's Khamenei warns against divisions after 'enemy's defeat on battlefield'
Mojtaba Khamenei said Iran’s adversaries turned to hybrid warfare after a decisive blow, urging unity to counter doubt, fear and division.
- On Thursday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned that adversaries are employing "hybrid warfare" to sow "division" among Iranians after suffering a "decisive blow." The remarks marked the 37th anniversary of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's death.
- Mojtaba succeeded his father, Ali Khamenei, on March 8 following Ali Khamenei's death on February 28 during United States and Israeli attacks that triggered regional conflict. Mojtaba has remained out of public view since his selection.
- Framing the conflict, the leader claimed "Imperialism, led by the US, has built a military base called Israel over the past 80 years." He stated enemies use "hybrid warfare" to target the resilience of Iranians and officials' assessments.
- Addressing attendees at the mausoleum in Tehran, the leader urged unity to "neutralise their sinister plot." He warned that "any act that causes pessimism among the people is considered a kind of aid to the enemy."
- Although a ceasefire halted regional fighting on April 8, permanent peace negotiations remain stalled. The Islamic Republic continues to link ending the war with broader regional de-escalation, including in Lebanon where Hezbollah remains engaged with Israeli forces.
