Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - TEHRAN – Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has warned that any attack on his country would result in a “regional war” as US President Donald Trump he is hopeful about the prospects of reaching a deal with Tehran.
“They should know that if they start a war this time, it will be a regional war,” the 86-year-old supreme leader told a large crowd of supporters who gathered at an event in downtown Tehran on Sundayto mark the anniversary of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s return to Iran from exile in France in 1979, which led to the Iranian Revolution and the flight of the US-backed ruler, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi.
Khamenei said the US wants to “devour” Iran and its vast oil and natural gas resources, adding that what happened during the recent antigovernment protests “was similar to a coup” since a large number of government offices, banks and mosques were stormed.
Khamenei said the unrest aimed to “destroy sensitive and effective centers involved in running the country” was ultimately suppressed.
Iranian authorities have accused the US and Israel of backing what they describe as “rioters” and “terrorists” who carried out violent acts during the protests.
He dismissed Washington’s deployment of aircraft carriers and warships to the Arabian Gulf, describing such moves as “nothing new.”
Khamenei said that American officials have repeatedly issued similar warnings in the past, often claiming that “all options are on the table,” including military action.
“Now this man too constantly claims that ‘we brought warships’ and so on,” Khamenei said, referring to Trump.
“The Iranian nation should not be frightened by such things. The people of Iran are not influenced by these threats.”
On Wednesday, Trump said in a social media post that a massive “armada” was heading toward Iran, while urging Tehran to enter negotiations immediately.

The statement fueled speculation about a possible US military strike, prompting strong reactions from Iranian officials as well as hectic diplomatic activity in the region.
Khamenei stressed that Iran would not be the initiator of any war and “does not seek to attack any country,” warning that it would “deliver a firm blow to anyone who attacks or harasses it.”
Despite the growing fears of a US strike on Iran, signs have emerged that tensions may be easing.
On Saturday, Iran’s senior official Ali Larijani said that a “structured framework” for negotiations is “taking shape and moving forward,” while dismissing what he described as excessive media hype.
Trump also told reporters that Iran was “seriously talking” with Washington.
Larijani himself traveled to Moscow, where he reportedly held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Asked about the supreme leader’s warning, Trump told reporters: “Of course he is going to say that.
“Hopefully we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.”
Meanwhile, Iranian officials are also holding “celebrations” across the country to mark the revolution’s anniversary and bolster its defiant messaging.
Troops from the IRGC and the army, joined by the police and other security personnel, marched on the streets of Tehran on Sunday in an apparent show of strength. Soldiers on motorcycles led a parade from Mehrabad Airport to the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, where Khomeini delivered his first speech in 1979.
In his speech, Khamenei also stressed the importance of state-run events, claiming that millions of people participated in a pro-government rally on January 12 while “mere thousands” rose up against the Islamic Republic during the nationwide protests. — Agencies
