As tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, particularly with the increasing confrontation between Israel and Iran, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei recently made a striking statement. He warned that if the United States chooses military intervention in the current conflict, it will suffer "irreversible losses." This tough stance has raised widespread concerns in the international community about the possibility of direct U.S. involvement in the Middle Eastern conflict, while also leading global markets to closely follow the developments, especially the fluctuations in oil prices and safe-haven assets like gold.
In a public speech on Wednesday, Khamenei made it clear: "If the United States takes any military action, it will face irreparable losses." He further emphasized that once the U.S. is involved in the conflict, the damage it suffers "will far exceed the difficulties faced by Iran," and it could even be "irreversible."
Hamini's remarks are seen as a direct response to the recent increasingly hardline stance of the United States. The deterioration of the situation is mainly due to Israel's airstrike against Iranian nuclear facilities in April, which was followed by a series of missile exchanges between the two sides. According to information from the International Atomic Energy Agency, two of Iran's centrifuge facilities were damaged in this attack.
At the same time, Trump also commented on his social media platform Truth Social, stating that America’s patience is running out. He directly referred to Khamenei as an "easily identifiable target," and although he indicated that "no action will be taken at this stage," he emphasized that the White House's goal is to force Iran to "unconditionally surrender" and issued warnings regarding potential attacks on civilians or American targets.
The ongoing escalation of diplomatic and military confrontation not only affects regional stability but also raises increasing concerns in the international community regarding the direction of the Middle East situation. Analysts point out that if the conflict further expands, it could bring serious impacts on global energy supply and economic stability.
