The following is the full text of Imam Khomeini’s televised message following the Israel’s attacks on various parts of Iran and the martyrdom of a group of commanders, scientists, and civilians on June 13, 2025

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

I offer my greetings to the dear and noble people of our country. I extend my congratulations and condolences to the Iranian nation and the families of the martyrs on the martyrdom of our beloved commanders, scientists, and a number of civilians which of course is a heavy loss for everyone.

We hope, God willing, that the Almighty God will elevate their ranks and encompass their pure souls with His special grace.

What I wish to say to our dear nation is this that the Zionist regime has made a big mistake, a grave error, committed a reckless act. By God’s grace, the consequences of this will bring that regime to ruin. The Iranian nation won’t permit the blood of its valued martyrs to go unavenged, nor will it ignore the violation of its airspace.

Our Armed Forces are ready, and the country’s officials and all the people are behind the Armed Forces. Today, similar messages have been issued by all the various political factions and numerous groups throughout the country. Everyone feels that we must give a strong response to the evil, despicable, terrorist Zionist identity.

We must give a strong response. God willing, we will respond with strength, and we will show them no mercy. Life will definitely become bitter for them. They shouldn’t imagine that they’ve attacked us and that everything is over now. No! They are the ones who have started this and have begun a war.

The Zionist regime will not escape safely from the heinous crime that they’ve committed.

This is a certainty that the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces will deal heavy blows to this evil enemy. The Iranian people are with us. They support the Armed Forces, and the Islamic Republic will triumph over the Zionist regime, by the will of God. Let our dear nation know this, be certain, and rest assured that every effort will be made in this regard.

May God’s greetings, mercy, and blessings be upon you.

To the great Iranian nation! The Zionist regime has committed a crime in our dear country today at dawn with its satanic, bloodstained hands. It has revealed its malicious nature even more than before by targeting residential areas. The [Zionist] regime should anticipate a severe punishment. By God’s grace, the powerful arm of the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces won’t let them go unpunished. In the enemy’s attacks, several commanders and scientists have been martyred. God willing, their successors and colleagues will carry on with their duties without delay. With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see. Sayyid Ali Khamenei
