Iran “will stand firm against an imposed war, just as it will stand firm against an imposed peace,” the county’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised message reported by Tasnim news agency.

“This nation will not surrender to anyone in the face of imposition.”

The Iranian leader also pointed out to statements made by US President Donald Trump, saying that those who know Iran and its history “know that Iranians do not answer well to the language of threat”.

“And the Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable consequences.”
