The battle begins. Khamenei accepts Trump's challenge.

"Ali returns to Khaybar," Khamenei's post on X says in reply to Trump's demand for unconditional surrender. According to a translation by the Iran International news outlet, the statement is a reference to the first imam of Shia Islam and his conquest of the Jewish town of Khaybar in the 7th century. The post was originally shared in Farsi.
