Iran's Khamenei says he will 'never' surrender to Israel

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that his country would "never" surrender to Israel, after Israel stepped up its air attacks against Iran and announced it had destroyed the internal security headquarters in Tehran, AFP reported on Wednesday.

On the sixth day of the conflict, Khamenei warned the United States of "irreparable damage" if it intervened.

He was responding to threats from US President Donald Trump, an ally of Israel, who on Tuesday called on Iran to "surrender unconditionally" and said that the United States could "kill" the supreme leader, but that it would not at this time.
