Khamenei Breaks Silence After Iran-Israel Ceasefire Collapse

Ayatollah Khamenei has spoken out for the first time since Iran’s brief ceasefire with Israel ended.

Khamenei has reportedly been hiding out in a bunker of late in the wake of ongoing tensions with Iran, the US, and Israel, but has now made a public announcement via social media.

In the post, the supreme leader claimed victory over Israel and branded the US’ attacks on the country’s nuclear sites as as unsuccessful.

He penned on Twitter today (June 26): “My congratulations on our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime. The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing.”

His comments come after there were reports that America’s attack on Iran wasn’t as successful as President Trump made them out to be.
