Ayatollah Khamenei rules out possibility of war with US despite tensions

Supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution rules out the possibility of war between the US and Iran despite heightened tensions between the two sides. ''In [its] policy of confrontation with the Islamic Republic (of Iran) too, the US will definitely suffer defeat, and [the situation] will end up to our benefit,'' the Leader said,

Hawzah News Agency (Tehran - Iran) - Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks on Tuesday in Tehran, meeting with the heads of the country's executive, judiciary, and legislative branches as well as other senior officials, parliamentarians, and important figures in the country's political, social, and cultural spheres.

The Leader further said any confrontation between the US and Iran would not be ''a military one,'' and that ''there was not going to be any war.''

 

 

“The Iranian nation’s definite option will be resistance in the face of the US, and in this confrontation, the US would be forced into a retreat,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. “Neither we nor they, who know war will not be in their interest, are after war.”

Ayatollah Khamenei further explained that the confrontation between the two sides is “a clash of wills,” asserting that Iran would be the ultimate victor of this battle.

 

 

The Leader ruled out any negotiation with the US as long as Washington sticks with its hostile approach against the Islamic Republic, saying Washington would be attempting to undermine Iran’s “points of strength,'' such as its defensive power or its strategic regional influence, in any such interaction.  

The Leader further played down Washington's highly belligerent rhetoric against Iran, saying its real capability did not match its loud bluster, and that it ''needs to engage in [such bluster].''

 

 

Ayatollah Khamenei said Washington gives priority to Israel's interests over the benefits of all others, adding, ''The control of many affairs rests in the hands of the Zionist society.''

The Leader pointed to the absence of integrity in the US administration, noting how various American officials contradict each other on a daily basis. The American society, he added, is also afflicted with rampant socioeconomic problems and violence.

 

 

Ayatollah Khamenei, meanwhile, also highlighted how Washington's policies regarding Europe and Asia had backfired.

''In [its] policy of confrontation with the Islamic Republic (of Iran) too, the US will definitely suffer defeat, and [the situation] will end up to our benefit,'' the Leader said, citing warnings by American analysts that Washington's pressure on Tehran would, contrary to its intended purpose, trigger an ''economic mutation.''
