Leader: Remarkable unity among Iranians shatters enemy ranks
Top officials hit back at Trump’s ramblings
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei lauded the profound impact of the Iranian nation’s extraordinary unity, saying that it has inflicted a significant fracture on the enemy while urging practical gratitude to forge even stronger national cohesion.
"Due to the remarkable unity created among compatriots, a fracture has occurred in the enemy," the Leader stated in a message published on the X network on Thursday, highlighting how this unprecedented solidarity has disrupted the calculations of those seeking to undermine the Islamic Republic.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized the need to express gratitude for this divine blessing through concrete actions, affirming that such efforts will render national cohesion “greater and more steely,” while leaving the enemies “more wretched and diminished.”
The Leader also drew attention to the enemy’s ongoing psychological warfare, warning, “The enemy’s media operations, by targeting the minds and psyches of the people, intend to undermine national unity and security; may our negligence not allow this sinister intent to come to fruition.”
Ayatollah Khamenei’s message comes at a critical juncture as the Islamic Republic stands resilient against multifaceted acts of aggression, including sanctions, threats, and propaganda campaigns orchestrated by the United States, the Zionist regime and their Western allies.
This unity, born from the Iranian nation’s deep-rooted faith and revolutionary spirit, has repeatedly proven to be an invincible shield, turning every hostile plot into an opportunity for greater advancement.
Earlier on Thursday, the three heads of Iran's executive, legislative, and judicial branches issued a collective response to US President Donald Trump, denouncing his remarks about “divisions between extremists and moderates” in Iran as unwarranted provocations.
President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, and Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei conveyed a powerful message to Trump, emphasizing a common theme of national unity and defiance.
In their statements, they dismissed the US president’s classification of Iranian officials to extremists and moderates, asserting that all citizens in Iran identify as "Iranians" and "revolutionaries."
“In Iran there are no ‘hardliners’ or ‘moderates’. We are all Iranians and revolutionaries. With ironclad unity of nation and state and obedience to the Leader, we will make the aggressor regret,” Pezeshkian wrote on X.
“One God, one nation, one leader, one path; victory for Iran, dearer than life,” he added.
Qalibaf also released a matching statement in a coordinated effort to showcase unity across Iran's three branches of power.
The judiciary chief echoed the view, using a stronger language.
"Despicable US president should know that terms like 'hardliner' and 'moderate' are meaningless constructs in Western political discourse. In Iran, all groups stand united in full alignment with the Leader," the top judge wrote.
Army chief Major General Amir Hatami also in a post on X said Iranians with the unity of the nation, the armed forces, and the three branches of government will make the criminal aggressor regret its actions.
