As the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to heat, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has warned that the United States faces "irreparable damage" if it intervenes militarily. The tough remarks have reignited doubts that the United States may be directly involved in the Middle East war, and has also kept global markets closely watching developments, especially on the volatility of safe-haven assets such as oil prices and gold.
Iran warns: If the U.S. sends troops, it will suffer the consequences.
In a speech this Wednesday, Khamenei explicitly stated: "Any military action by the United States will undoubtedly suffer irreparable losses." He added that once the U.S. intervenes, the damage it will incur "will far exceed that faced by Iran," and even "will be irreversible."
These remarks are a response to the recent shift in the United States' stance towards a tougher position, especially following the airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities in April by Israel, which led to a series of missile attacks from both sides, further worsening the situation. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), two Iranian centrifuge facilities were damaged in the attacks.
Trump posts a challenge: the White House demands Iran's "unconditional surrender"
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on his social platform Truth Social this Tuesday that America’s patience is running out, directly naming Hamini as an "easily identifiable target." Although he said, "We won’t take him out (kill him!) right now," he emphasized that the White House's goal is to force Iran to "unconditionally surrender," and warned against launching missiles at civilians or U.S. soldiers.
Hameini's Counterattack: Iran is not a nation that can be forced to surrender.
In response to the threats from the U.S., Khamenei stated, "The Iranian people are not a nation that can be forced to surrender." He further accused that, although the U.S. claims not to be directly involved, based on the public statements of officials, the suspicions regarding U.S. involvement in the war "are becoming increasingly apparent."

G7 leaders express concern: Iran is the "main cause of regional instability"
Earlier this week, the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) unanimously designated Iran as the "main source of instability and terrorism in the Middle East" during their summit, calling on all parties to promote broader de-escalation and diplomatic solutions.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated outside the G7 venue that Israel is now doing the "dirty work" for the West, referring to its role in countering Iran's military network on behalf of other Western countries.
Market reaction: Investors are turning to safe-haven assets such as gold.

Oil prices also rose as doubts about the stability of oil sources in the Middle East intensified, investors poured into safe-haven assets, including gold and US bonds. The outside world is worried that if the United States really enters the war, there may be a wider military conflict in the Middle East, which will pose a threat to the global supply chain and energy security.
