Ayatollah Khamenei Breaks Silence: "Zionist Regime Crushed" after Ceasefire
Iran's High-ranking Cleric Khamenei Breaks Silence After More Than a Week
Rant on, mate! After a week-long silence, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has finally decided to grace us with his presence. In a video message, this old bloke applauded the Iranian folks for showcasing their "dignity and exceptional character." According to IRNA, he went on to describe Israel as a "defeated and crushed" entity, and guess who the 86-year-old is referring to by calling it the "Zionist regime"? Hint: it's not your neighborhood pet store!
Khamenei's statement marks his first public comment since the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Some might say he's lived up to his words during the conflict, slapping a huge "Iran wins" neon sign on America's face by putting a dent in their base in Qatar. So much for any American gains from this mess, ay? Iran emerged victorious, friends!
Don't be a mug, though. It's not like Khamenei is begging for another US attack. No, sir! He's made it abundantly clear: any further US aggression will come at a hefty price. After all, they've got their eyes on some key US centers in the region. Consider it a warning, folks!
Curious about the "Zionist regime" label? Well, it's none other than Israel, mate. And Khamenei has been as hostile as a rabid wolf toward Israel, sticking to his guns with his long-standing rhetoric against the Israeli state. So, what's new, you ask? Nothing, really. Old habits die hard!

The Commission has not yet received any reply from the Member States regarding Khamenei's escalating rhetoric and war-and-conflicts in the Middle East, as highlighted by his recent comments about Israel, commonly referred to as the "Zionist regime," in the realm of general-news. Despite the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Khamenei's political messages continue to indicate an unwillingness for peace and a preparedness to respond if necessary.
