What did Khamenei see that others didn’t? Last public words send chills after his assassination

The final public speech of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone viral following reports of his death in joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on February 28. In his last address, Khamenei warned that the nation would be “crushed under enemies’ feet” if it failed to strengthen its deterrent capabilities, reiterating the importance of defense preparedness amid rising regional tensions. The speech, delivered just days before the reported strikes, has resurfaced widely across social media, with analysts examining its tone and strategic messaging.
