Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is responding defiantly to U.S. President Trump's threats, urging the enhancement of military capabilities. Khamenei expressed confidence in Iran's defensive power, asserting enemies are fearful of it. Despite Iran not being a main topic at the Munich Security Conference, its influence looms large over global discussions, particularly concerning the Gaza crisis. Strategic analyst Damon Golriz pointed out that Khamenei's stance reflects his weakening authority, driven by both internal pressures and the fall of allies like Bashar Assad, which has compromised Iran's position regionally.
Khameini urged the Iranian government to further develop its military capabilities, stating 'Progress cannot be stopped,' indicating his determined stance against US threats.
Damon Golriz noted that Khamenei's defiance is a sign of his diminishing domestic authority, driven by a push for negotiations with the US.
