Iran supreme leader warns of ‘unforgettable lessons’ if US attacks continue

Key Points:

• Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that the US will face “unforgettable lessons” due to repeated violations of a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries, calling President Trump’s signature “utterly worthless and invalid.”
• The US escalated attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure this week, targeting bridges, railway lines, and water desalination plants, prompting Tehran to retaliate by striking civilian infrastructure in Kuwait.
• The ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, viewed as existential by Tehran’s leadership, has seen no de-escalation despite regional diplomatic efforts, with Iran urging its citizens to remain vigilant and trust the leadership.
• The MoU, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan and signed last month to end the conflict, has effectively collapsed as both sides accuse each other of breaches, further intensifying the war.
• Reports indicate that Yemen’s Houthi rebels may close the Bab al-Mandeb strait in support of Iran, potentially destabilizing global energy markets and increasing pressure on the US to cease hostilities.
