Confrontation will continue until US stops bullying, accepts Iran’s legitimate demands: Assembly of Experts
Iran’s Assembly of Experts says the Islamic Republic is determined to keep confronting the United States until Washington quits bullying and accepts the legitimate demands of the Iranian nation.
The assembly of top clerics issued a statement on Monday, after Donald Trump, the US president, announced the cancellation of his planned aggression against Iran and later claimed that officials from Washington and Tehran will meet for talks. Iran has rejected the latter.
“The confrontation between the Islamic Revolution and the arrogant front is fundamental. It will not end unless arrogant powers abandon their aggressive behavior and accept the legitimate demands of the noble people of Iran, as reflected in the messages of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution,” the assembly stated.
“Based on undeniable evidence, the current war is a decisive conflict in this arena, and any underestimation at this critical juncture could result in irreparable historical losses.”
The assembly also warned against trusting the United States given its repeated violations of the war-termination memorandum of understanding with Iran.
Recent developments, it added, have demonstrated that the US president’s signature is unreliable and that placing trust in the arrogant government is nothing more than an illusion.
“Hope for understanding and agreement with this bullying regime will lead nowhere. Any effort to uphold the rights of the Iranian nation must be carried out within the framework of the views, guidance, and directives of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.”
Meanwhile, the assembly called on Iranians to preserve their sacred unity and adhere to the wise directives of the Leader, saying it is both a rational and religious duty for all officials to remain committed to Ayatollah Khamenei’s decisions.
It urged all the free people of the world to “keep aloft the banner of revenge and retribution” for Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, whom the United States and Israel assassinated on February 28.
The United States and Israel waged their first war on Iran in June 2025. It lasted 12 days. Their second aggression began on February 28 and came to a halt in early April after 40 days.
In both wars, Iran’s brave resistance and decisive retaliatory operations forced the enemies to accept a ceasefire.
Tehran and Washington signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on June 17. But Washington has effectively violated the deal by striking Iran.
In response, the Iranian armed forces have conducted devastating attacks against strategic American targets across West Asia.
