Khamenei vows to teach U.S. "unforgettable lessons" after Iran stops fulfilling MOU

Khamenei vows to teach U.S. "unforgettable lessons" after Iran stops fulfilling MOU.

Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei said on Saturday local time that Iran had prepared "an unforgettable lesson" for the United States after the US military launched air strikes on Iran for the seventh consecutive night.

According to CCTV News, Khamenei issued a statement that day: "Since the enemy of the United States is determined to provoke a war and is prepared to bear a heavier price, it should know that the Iranian people and the resistance front have prepared unforgettable lessons for it." Khamenei also said that the continued attacks by the United States have proven

that US President Trump’s signature on the memorandum of understanding is “worthless and has no credibility.” Hours before the above statement was released, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Garibabadi announced that Iran had suspended the implementation of relevant commitments in the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States last month.

He said: "The United States has violated and suspended all commitments under the memorandum of understanding.

We have also suspended the implementation of our own commitments and will not implement the agreement at this time, but will devote all our energy to defending the country." The fragile ceasefire agreement signed between the United States and Iran last month is further unraveling as the latest round of military conflict continues to escalate.

The interim deal was intended to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and push for an end to the conflict. Analysts pointed out that the continuous attacks by both sides not only threaten civilian safety and infrastructure, but also affect key livelihood resources such as desalination facilities, putting the global economy on alert again.

Two US soldiers killed The U.S. military said two U.S. soldiers stationed in Jordan were killed in fighting on Friday local time. At the time, U.S. Central Command and its allied forces were responding to ballistic missile and drone attacks launched by Iran, and another U.S. soldier is currently missing. The U.S.

Central Command said earlier in the day that the U.S. military had ended its air strikes against Iran for the seventh consecutive night. At the same time, both Kuwait and Bahrain reported being attacked by Iranian weapons, and commercial shipping continued to be disrupted. The U.S.

Central Command issued a statement on the This round of air strikes ended at 9:30 pm Eastern Time on Friday. The targets included military logistics facilities, underground weapons storage facilities, and maritime military capabilities. The U.S. military also stated that the U.S. military has intercepted a number of merchant ships in recent days.

"In the first three days after the relevant measures were re-implemented, the US military has forced four commercial ships to change routes, paralyzed one ship, and boarded and inspected one ship to ensure that the relevant measures were fully implemented." Competition in the Strait of Hormuz continues to escalate At the same time, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had intercepted four ships sailing under US escort in the Strait of Hormuz.

"In a coordinated joint missile and drone operation, all four ships were forced to stop sailing and were controlled at sea." Iran appears to be continuing its strikes against regional targets.

Kuwait said its air defense systems were responding to "hostile drone threats." According to reports, Iran launched an attack on a power generation and desalination facility in the country, causing a fire but causing no casualties. This is the second time in two days that Kuwait's desalination facilities have been attacked.

In addition, a desalination plant in Iran was also attacked by the US military, causing a complete interruption of the drinking water supply to about 10,000 residents. Kuwait is highly dependent on desalination for water supply, with nearly 90% of the country’s drinking water needs met by desalination plants.

Kuwait Airways said it had adjusted most of its flight schedules due to Iranian missile and drone attacks. The government of neighboring Bahrain said in the early hours of Saturday that its air defense system successfully intercepted several missiles launched by Iran and sounded an air defense siren to remind residents to avoid danger.

Iran announced on Friday that it had carried out strikes on US military targets in Syria and Bahrain. Despite the continued escalation of the conflict, Trump insisted that the United States was making good progress in its military operations against Iran.

"We are also achieving significant victories in Iran, and very soon you will see the results of these efforts," he said in an address to the nation Thursday night. Trump also previously warned that the United States would strike at Iran's bridges and power facilities in the coming week if Iran refused to return to the negotiating table.

Ian Lesser, a researcher at the German Marshall Fund, a think tank in Washington, said that the risk of the United States and Iran falling into a so-called "permanent war" is rising. "The risk does exist," Lesser said.

"However, the fact is that the United States and Iran have been in a state of long-term confrontation that alternates between cold and hot for decades." (
