Ali Khamenei Warns of Iran's Readiness Amid Fragile Ceasefire

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has expressed deep distrust in the current ceasefire with Israel, citing the country's military is ready for all scenarios in case of renewed conflict, after Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites in June led to a 12-day conflict and civilian casualties on both sides.

The ceasefire, brokered on June 24, has held so far but is described as legally fragile and temporary. The distrust stems from Israeli airstrikes, which led to a 12-day conflict and civilian casualties on both sides. Iran's Defence Minister has also stated that the country's military is ready for all scenarios in case of renewed conflict, highlighting the tense situation between the two nations.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Israel of launching a war to overthrow the Iranian system, claiming the goal was to stir unrest and bring people into the streets to topple the government. He also accused the US of being complicit in Israel's actions, calling it a "dog on a leash." Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, but has enriched uranium to levels with no peaceful application and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities.

The war resulted in over 1,000 deaths in Iran, and Iran retaliated with over 500 ballistic missiles and 1,100 drones at Israel, killing 29 people and wounding over 3,000. Khamenei vowed that Iran is ready to respond to any further attacks by the US and its allies, highlighting the escalating tensions in the region.

The situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The international community is watching the situation closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. However, with the current ceasefire being described as fragile and temporary, the possibility of renewed conflict remains a concern.
