- During the conflict, Iranian forces launched over 550 ballistic missiles at Israeli cities causing at least 28 deaths, while Iran suffered more than 900 fatalities and damage to nuclear facilities.
- State media broadcast footage of Khamenei greeting an enthusiastic crowd at Imam Khomeini Mosque in Tehran, where attendees commemorated the anniversary of Imam Hussein’s martyrdom and repeatedly chanted, "The blood in our veins for our leader!"
- Khamenei’s appearance ended his near-total seclusion during the war and reinforced Iran’s stance of 'resistance' and refusal to surrender despite heavy losses and denied U.N. inspection access.
