Iran will 'never compromise', Supreme Leader says

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said Iran "will never compromise with Zionists", in a series of posts on X.

"We will show the Zionists no mercy," a translation of the post reads. In a different post, he says "the battle begins", reports BBC.

The posts, across Khamenei's several different language accounts, are among his first public comments since US President Donald Trump said that the US knew where he was but would not "take him out... at least for now".

Earlier this week, we reported that Trump had vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Khamenei.
