ISTANBUL (AA) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday claimed victory over Israel during their 12-day war.
“With all that clamor, with all those claims, the Zionist regime, under the blows of the Islamic Republic, has almost collapsed and been crushed,” Khamenei said in a televised message to Iranian people posted on his official X account.
“I offer my congratulations on the victory over the fallacious Zionist regime,” he added.
