War between Israel and Iran: Chamenei rejects Trump’s demand for surrender

Iran’s top guide Ajatollah Ali Chamenei has rejected the claim of US President Donald Trump after unconditional surrender of his country. At the same time, he warned the United States into conflict of military intervention.

In the Iranian capital Tehran, explosions could also be heard on the sixth day of the war between Israel and Iran. Eyewitnesses reported several explosions in the northeast of the metropolis and severe air defense fire. There were initially no reports of victims or damage. Israel’s army confirmed that the Israeli Air Force “is currently attacking the Iranian regime’s military goals in Tehran”.

According to Israeli information, uranium centrifuges and several weapon factories were targeted during attacks at night. In addition, more than 40 military goals in the west of Iran were attacked. For the first time, the Israeli army also admitted the shooting of one of its drones.

Chameni warns of “irreparable damage”

“The Iranian people are determined and will resist both against an imposed war and against an imposed peace,” said Chamenei during a speech assigned on television.

He urged the United States into conflict of military intervention. This will cause “irreparable damage”, according to the Iranian head of state.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump Chamenei had bluntly threatened. “We know exactly where the so -called” top leader “holds himself hidden”, Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform. “He is an easy goal.” For the time being, Chameni is certain. “We won’t turn it off (kill!), At least not at the moment.”

Trump warned the Iran against firing missiles on civilians or US soldiers and warned: “Our patience is slowly coming to an end.” In another post, Trump wrote – probably addressed to Iran – in capital letters: “Unconditional surrender!”

Russia warns USA of direct attacks on Iran

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also warned the United States about direct intervention. “That would be a radically destabilizing step,” said Vice Foreign Minister Sergei Rjabkow at the Petersburg International Economic Forum of the Russian news agency Interfax. Even speculations in this direction are very dangerous, said the diplomat.

US media: Israel’s interception missiles are scarce

According to US media reports, interception rockets for the Israeli Defense system Arrow could soon become scarce. The United States has been aware of the capacity problems for months, the “Wall Street Journal” quoted a US official. That is why Washington has reinforced Israel’s defense with systems on the ground, water and in the air and has sent further rocket defense systems to the region since June.

Source of Israel’s ability to defend Israel also expressed a source in the “Washington Post” about the assessments of American and Israeli secret services: Israel’s defensive capacity was only to be kept at a previous level for ten or twelve days. However, it is unknown which amounts of ammunition the Iran still have in the hindquarters. It is speculated that the supplies are already thinned out.

Criticism of Merz about statement on “dirty work”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) comments on Israeli attack on Israel cause criticism. “When the Chancellor says Israel does the dirty work for us in Iran, it is more than strange,” said SPD politician Ralf Stegner to the “Spiegel”. There was also contradiction from Greens, Left and the BSW.

In a ZDF interview with a view of Israel’s war against Iran, Merz had used the word “dirty work” and said: “I can only say, the greatest respect for the Israeli army to have the courage to do the Israeli leadership to do that.”

Isolated protest calls

Meanwhile, life in Tehran is largely silent. Shops remain closed. Banks are open, but cannot pay cash, according to a dpa reporter on site.

Iranian media also reported that several banks had problems with the payment of foreign exchange, but this represented this as a temporary problem. Despite the pharmacies that are often closed, the government assured that there would be no bottlenecks in the supply of medication.

According to DPA information, there are also a few protest calls against the government. According to Israeli bombing, the residents of larger apartment blocks often go to the roofs to see where the impacts occurred. Then calls like “Marg Bar Chamenei” (death for chameni). When security forces arrive, people quickly retreat to their apartments after such “roof protests”.

President Massud Peseschkian called on people to unity, according to the news agency Tasnim, close to the revolutionary garden. “As long as we have the people behind us, we won’t have any problems,” Peseschkian was quoted. Therefore, it is all the more important to preserve the national unit. Then every crisis can be overcome, the head of government continued.

According to assessments of observers on site, speculations about an early overthrow are premature. A call has attracted attention from the son of the last Shah of Persia, Reza Pahlavi, who lives in exile. Because of his father, he was also controversial and protests on the streets have so far failed to materialize.
