Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei made a claim to defeat Israel, which was the “slap” of the United States

A message announced on the X account of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday said: “I won the Zionist regime.” Another article added the bold claim that the Israeli government was “actually knocked down and crushed under the blow of the Islamic Republic”.

The video was recorded to his country – his first public remark since Ceasefire for Israel and Israeli U.S. brokers take effect Tuesday – Khamenei went further, suggesting that Israel’s “large number of military and other targets” were Iran’s missiles.

They may be targeting, but in fact, rockets launched by Iran’s 12-day missiles escaped Israel’s relatively less defense. A total of 28 people were killed, none of whom were identified as government officials, but civilians were killed when missiles hit apartment buildings and cities.

President Trump said Israel’s strike against Iran killed at least 30 military commanders on the other hand and combined it with the U.S. strike over the weekend to “eliminate” the country’s nuclear program. Human rights activists, based in Iran, rely on a network of sources in the country, said Wednesday that the strike killed at least 1,054 people in Iran, including a total of 318 military personnel.

Khamenei also claimed that Iran gave it to Iran by attacking the Al-udeid air base in Qatar, the location of thousands of U.S. troops.

However, none of the about twelve missiles launched by Iran on its massive base hit it. Although Ayatollah advocated “huge damage” to the site, they were intercepted.

Assess Iran’s nuclear program and cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency

Although full Assess the damage The head of two U.S. intelligence agencies said Wednesday that they are still compiling. Indicates “new” intelligence Iran’s nuclear enrichment program is likely to be restored in the “year”. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said earlier Wednesday that the country’s own intelligence assessment showed Iran’s nuclear program was restored for “years.”

Khamenei provided a very different move on Thursday, but without any details or evidence. He claimed that the United States joined Israel’s strike. “Just like not doing this, the Zionist regime will be completely wiped out, so they entered the war to prevent this.”

“They haven’t managed to do anything important to our nuclear facilities,” he claimed.

After the ceasefire, Iran adopted legislation that would effectively prohibit the government from cooperating with the IAEA in any way. For decades, the UN nuclear monitoring agency has been the only external entity that can use Iran’s nuclear facilities for monitoring purposes, and the country still has experts in the country.

Iranian state media said on Thursday that the legislation was approved by senior pastors of the Guardian Board and therefore had “the weight of the law.” Khamenei has a final say in all matters in Iran, and he did not mention the IAEA at his video address on Thursday.

On Thursday, IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi told the French News Podcast that the agency’s assessment depends primarily on the photographic evidence and its unique and deep familiarity with Iran’s nuclear sites, namely that the strikes in the United States and Israel caused very significant physical damage to three sites: The efforts of Easter and Iran are related to Iran’s activities, which is a very significant damage to the three sites.

He said he was still in talks with senior Iranian officials and suggested meetings with the country’s foreign ministers, “begin to evaluate the arrangements [IAEA] Inspector returns [nuclear] website. ”

Grossi said he has not received any reply yet, noting that there is “a little tension” between the agency and the Iranian leader, given that “they don’t think the agency is fair,” given that “the political voice of Iran, they think it is not fair.”

The head of the IAEA said that the Iranian government decided to cooperate with the IAEA and he was “very very”.

“The existence of the agency in Iran is not some kind of generous gesture. It is an international responsibility. Iran is a member of the NPT and therefore must have a system of inspection. From an international law perspective, it is a legal obligation and this cannot be unilaterally suspended.” “I hope this is not the case, because otherwise we will be on the brink of a new major crisis.”

Iran’s anxiety has exacerbated Ayatollah’s claim?

Khamenei’s remarks on Thursday flourished with little fact to the rhetoric, and their goals were more important than the people of Iran.

The Iranian theocratic rulers swept the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew a pro-Western government led by the Shah royal family, which has long maintained strict control over all the media in the country, and many Iranians have little access to external information.

Nevertheless, especially among younger, more tech-savvy generations, there is a sense of how much the Iranian people don’t enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by many other countries – which has led to several popular protest uprisings over the past decade. All of them were brutally dismissed by the authorities, but Netanyahu quickly called after Israel began bombing Iran in the country to hold new anti-government protests, urging Iranians to use the attack, which he said made the attack. Ayatollah is in his weakest position ever.

Khamenei has not been broadcast live in public since the ceasefire, and his precise whereabouts remain unclear after the pre-recorded video message was released.
