Iran's retaliatory attack has weakened Israel, and further retribution is coming, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said as quoted by his press service.
"The Zionist (Israel) enemy must be punished and is already receiving punishment. The act of revenge carried out by the Iranian people and armed forces against this wicked enemy has weakened it — and further, harsher blows have been planned for the future," he said in an address to the nation.
"The Almighty will surely grant victory to the Iranian nation, to truth and to justice," the head of the Islamic Republic added.

Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned the US of irreparable consequences if Washington joins Israel’s aggression against the Islamic republic.
ReplyDelete"Wise people who are familiar with Iran, its people and history, will never use the language of threats with this country because the Iranian people never surrender. The Americans must know that as a result of any military interferences, the US will undoubtedly suffer irreparable damage," he said, addressing the nation, as quoted by his press service.

"The Iranian people will just as firmly resist this imposed war as it will firmly oppose the imposed peace," Khamenei said.
