Khamenei’s representative says Iranians should not fear losses or threats

Jun 20, 2025, 13:01 GMT+1

Ahmad Alamolhoda, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s representative in Iran’s northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, said on Friday that Iranians should not be alarmed by the deaths of commanders, nuclear program officials, or the loss of social assets.

“The enemy wants to frighten us through psychological and military operations. Fear leads to weakness, but the people have not wavered,” he said during Friday prayers sermons.

Echoing Khamenei’s recent remarks delivered from a bunker, Alamolhoda called on citizens to continue their normal lives.

“Why should we evacuate cities? That’s exactly what the enemy wants—to disrupt your daily lives so you abandon the field,” he said.

Tehran open to limits on enrichment, but rules out 'zero enrichment' - Reuters

Tehran is prepared to discuss limitations on uranium enrichment but will "undoubtedly reject" any proposal for zero enrichment, particularly in light of ongoing Israeli military strikes, Reuters reported.

Citing a senior Iranian official, the report said Iran is awaiting a concrete initiative from the E3 (France, Germany, and the UK) on the nuclear issue and emphasized that the role of European powers is now more crucial, as Tehran is not willing to engage directly with the United States under current circumstances.

“The situation has changed. Europe must step up,” the official added.
