TEHRAN, March 21, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's supreme leader said Friday that US threats against his country "will get them nowhere", after US President Donald Trump warned of possible military action against the Islamic republic.

"The Americans should know threats will get them nowhere when confronting Iran. They and others should know that if they do anything malign to the Iranian nation, they will get a hard slap," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during a live televised speech.
