Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday that his country’s adversaries had turned to “hybrid warfare”, aimed at weakening people’s resilience and creating divisions among officials, after receiving a “decisive blow”.
Mojtaba, who has not appeared publicly since being named as the supreme leader on March 8, made these remarks in his message on the death anniversary of Iran’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
The message shared on his official X account and reported by the Iranian media.
Mojtaba’s message stated, “The malicious enemy has been defeated in its confrontation with the armed forces. Since it has received a decisive blow both in military combat and in Iran’s public squares and streets, it’s experiencing a profound and significant humiliation. It has concentrated its efforts on two objectives in the framework of hybrid warfare: weakening the people’s resilience and creating miscalculations among the country’s officials.”
