Attack on Ayatollah Khamenei equals ‘all out war,’ warns Iranian President

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday, 18 January, that any attack on the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would mean a declaration of war.

In a post on the social media platform X, Pezeshkian said, “If the people of Iran face hardship and difficulties in their lives, one of the main reasons for it is the longstanding enmity and inhumane sanctions imposed by the United States government and its allies. Any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation.”
