Khamenei Warns U.S. and Israel Are Trying to Create Division Inside Iran

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has warned that the United States and Israel are attempting to weaken Iran from within after failing to achieve their goals on the battlefield.

In a written statement, Khamenei said that the U.S.-led global order is unwilling to accept a strong and independent Iran. He described Israel as an artificial outpost of that system and accused both countries of pursuing a new strategy following their military setbacks.

According to Khamenei, the enemy has shifted toward “hybrid warfare,” aiming to undermine the resilience of the Iranian people and exploit potential weaknesses within the country’s leadership and institutions.

He stated that the main tools of this campaign are the spread of fear, despair, doubt, and social division among the public. The ultimate objective, he said, is to create internal discord and weaken Iran’s national unity.

The Iranian leader further warned that any action or narrative that promotes hopelessness, mistrust, or discouragement among the people effectively serves the interests of Iran’s adversaries.

Khamenei called on the Iranian people to confront current challenges with determination, awareness, and national solidarity, urging them to avoid internal conflicts and remain united in the face of external pressures.
