"Surrender to what? The Iranian people do not surrender. We are not the aggressor, and we will not accept any kind of aggression, and we will not submit to anyone's aggression; this is the logic of the Iranian nation, this is the spirit of the Iranian nation."

Khamenei attended a religious event on July 5, according to a video carried by state television, after reports that he was in a "secure location" since the start of a 12-day air war with Israel in which top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists were killed.

The video carried by state media showed dozens attending a ceremony to mark Ashura, the holiest day of the Shi'ite Muslim calendar, standing and chanting as Khamenei entered a hall where many government functions are held.

SENIOR OFFICIALS

On the sidelines of a forum in Sochi, on October 22, 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Larijani discussed the crisis in Syria then and Tehran-Moscow relations.

Putin commended Larijani for his role in a historic nuclear agreement between Iran and six major powers, which was aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear work in exchange for removing sanctions that have isolated the country and harmed its economy.

"A comprehensive and complex operation was planned in this direction, which initially began with infiltration and attraction of resources and access to those resources, and this access to resources increased, making it possible that today, by God’s grace, we are witnessing this important treasure."

Ali Shamkhani, a close adviser to Khamenei and a key figure in Iran's security and nuclear policymaking, was ‌killed ⁠in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28.

He had earlier survived an attack on his home during the 12-day June war between Israel and Iran.

In 2001, Shamkhani campaigned in Tehran in the last days before the Presidential elections in June 2001. As a member of Iran's ethnic Arab minority from southern Khuzestan province, he had difficulty trying to convince voters and reporters that his candidacy was not a step towards military rule.

Aziz Nasirzadeh, Iran's defence minister and a career air force officer, was killed in the same wave of strikes targeting senior leadership in Tehran on February 28, according to sources.

He played a key role in military planning and ⁠defence policy.

"God willing, it won’t come to that, and the talks will yield results. But if they don’t, and conflict is imposed on us, the enemy’s losses will undoubtedly be greater than ours. In that case, America will have to leave the region because all its bases are within our reach, we have access to them, and without hesitation, we will target all of them in the host countries."

Abdolrahim Mousavi, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, was killed in the February 28 strikes during what Iranian media said was a meeting of senior leadership in Tehran.

He was responsible for coordinating Iran's military branches and ⁠overseeing conventional forces.

On June 17, Mousavi warned Israel that "a punitive operation will be executed soon".

Mousavi was in attendance when Iran revealed its "Eagle 44" underground air force base - the first of its kind, large enough to house fighter jets, according to the official IRNA news agency.

IRNA said it was one of the country's most important air force bases, built deep underground, and housing drones and fighter jets equipped with long-range cruise missiles.

Iran confirmed the death of Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri on March 30 following severe injuries, Iranian media reported, based on a statement by the guards.

An experienced commander in place since 2018, Tangsiri played a significant part in Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
