US EditionIran's Khamenei Warns of 'All-Out War' if U.S. Joins Israeli Strikes, Rejects Trump's Call for Surrender
- On June 18, 2025, the highest religious authority in Iran issued a warning from Tehran that the United States would face severe and lasting consequences if it chose to engage militarily in the conflict between Iran and Israel.
- The warning followed Israeli large-scale airstrikes aimed at halting Iran's nuclear program and President Trump's recent demand for Iran's unconditional surrender.
- Khamenei declared Iran will never surrender, emphasized armed forces readiness, and an Iranian diplomat cautioned that U.S. intervention risks all-out war.
- Human Rights Activists report over 585 dead and 1,300 wounded in Iran, while retaliatory Iranian missile strikes killed at least 24 in Israel with hundreds wounded.
- The statements highlight escalating regional tensions and suggest that direct U.S. involvement could significantly intensify the conflict's scale and consequences.
