US EditionIran's Supreme Leader Says Country Delivered 'Heavy Slap' to U.S. in First Remarks Since Ceasefire
IRAN, JUN 27 – Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei hailed victory after a 12-day war, claiming over 600 Iranian civilian deaths and warning the US against future attacks on nuclear sites.
- Following the ceasefire that ended the conflict with Israel, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly declared victory and stated that Iran had dealt a symbolic blow to the United States.
- The conflict started on June 13 when Israel launched strikes against Iran’s nuclear sites and military leaders, leading to U.S. involvement and an American assault on June 22 that employed bunker-buster bombs targeting Iran’s nuclear installations.
- Khamenei cautioned the U.S. against additional attacks, justified Iran's recent missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, and claimed that Iran came close to severely weakening Israel during the conflict before U.S. intervention averted its complete collapse.
- U.S. officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, confirmed significant damage to key Iranian nuclear facilities, setting back Iran’s program for years, while Khamenei acknowledged Iran cannot currently rebuild or enrich uranium.
- The ceasefire brokered by President Trump led to planned nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, with Khamenei urging peace and trade but stating Iran would act militarily again if needed.
