Mojtaba Khamenei vows 'to bring US, Israel to knees' as conflict rages

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has ruled out the possibility of cessation of hostilities in the Middle East, asserting that the US and Israel would be "brought to ​their knees" and the duo has to accept defeat and pay compensation.

This came days after the US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, claimed Mojtaba was seriously injured and



likely deformed in the joint strikes by the United States and Israel.

As per an Iranian official, cited by Reuters, the Supreme Leader has issued a stark warning, saying Tehran’s revenge against the US and Israel would be “very tough and serious”.

Mojtaba also reportedly said “it was not the right time for peace” in the region.
