Mojtaba Khamenei declared that Iran’s “enemy” was being defeated in the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel in a message marking Nowruz. He credited national unity across religious, cultural, and political lines for strengthening resistance. Khamenei, who has not appeared publicly since succeeding Ali Khamenei after his death in an airstrike, used the statement to project confidence amid rising tensions. The message underscores Iran’s effort to maintain morale domestically as the regional conflict intensifies and uncertainty continues over its leadership visibility and wartime strategy.
