Tehran: A message previously shared by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has resurfaced on social media during the Chehlum commemorations of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), drawing renewed attention to Iran’s stance against reaching a deal with the United States.

The message was originally posted on October 13, 2019, but has now been republished to coincide with the Chehlum observance honoring the martyrs of Karbala, highlighting the continued significance of its message in Iran’s political narrative.
