Iran will never accept aggression: Khamenei

"Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a message that"Iran has not harmed anyone, but will not accept aggression under any circumstances." 

"We will not bow down to anyone's aggression - this is the logic of the Iranian nation," he said in a message posted on his social media account. '

Khamenei's comments come at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East over Iran's missile attack on a US airbase in Qatar, and international reaction is coming one after another. Khamenei's statement indicates that Iran will continue to resist in response to aggression.

Earlier in the day, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a missile at the US base in Qatar's al-Udeid Province. There were also reports of a missile attack on a US base in Iraq.

The United States attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night. Iran has previously said that if the United States launches a direct attack, it will be difficult to respond.

So far, neither the U.S. Department of Defense nor the Qatari government has issued an official statement. Iran has acknowledged the attack.

A high security alert had already been imposed around the Al-Udeid base.

This could signal the deepening of the war in the Middle East and the direct involvement of the United States in the Iran-Israel conflict.
