Israel pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah, Iranian response

While Israel awaits Iran's retaliation for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Khamenei is now indicating a willingness to engage in discussions with Western powers.

According to the Iranian news site "Iran International," Khamenei conveyed during a meeting with Iran's new president: "We should not pin our hopes on the enemy, nor should we wait for their approval of our plans. This does not preclude communication with them when necessary, as long as it does not harm us. However, we should not rely on them or place our trust in them."

Khamenei further stated: "There is no plan without challenges. For some, the instinctive reaction to obstacles is retreat, but this is a flawed approach. Instead, we must overcome the obstacle or find a way to bypass it. While tactical retreats may be necessary in some cases after exploring all avenues, it is crucial not to abandon our position or compromise at the first sign of difficulty."
