Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, on Thursday warned of a “hostile media campaign” targeting national unity and security, asserting that the country would emerge more cohesive despite external pressure.

On X, Khamenei said the efforts seek to destabilize the country, urging against attempts to divide the country.

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier conveyed a similar message, rejecting claims of internal rifts and emphasizing unity.

US President Donald Trump had portrayed Iran as facing internal turmoil, citing divisions between “hardliners” and “moderates.” He described the leadership as being in a state of confusion, claiming the country lacks clear direction and that internal factions are competing for influence.
