Israel: ‘The battle begins’ – Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei declares

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued a fresh warning to Israel, declaring “The battle begins” in a post shared across his official social media accounts on Tuesday night.

DAILY POST reports that Khamenei accompanied the statement with an image depicting fireballs descending upon an ancient city, signaling a symbolic and potentially grave threat.

“In the name of #Haider, the battle begins,” Khamenei posted in Farsi on X (formerly Twitter), referencing Ali ibn Abi Talib and his historic role in the Battle of Khaybar, a key confrontation in early Islamic history.

The message has raised concerns amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The development follows recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, who had earlier described Khamenei as an easy target.

Trump warned that America’s patience with Iran was wearing thin, calling for Iran’s unconditional surrender.

DAILY POST reports that the recent exchange adds to growing fears of a wider regional conflict as hostilities between Iran and Israel continue to simmer.
