US suffers no gains from strikes, asserted Iran's top leader Khamenei

Headline: Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Proclaims Victory Over Israel and America in Recent Conflict

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, announced on Thursday that the United States had gained nothing from its involvement in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel. In a statement published by state media, Khamenei stated that the Islamic Republic emerged victorious and dealt a crushing blow to America [1][2][4].

Addressing the U.S.'s supposed reasoning for intervention, Khamenei claimed that the U.S. intervened out of fear the "Zionist regime" (Israel) would be completely destroyed without American assistance. However, Khamenei emphasized that the U.S. gained no benefits from this war [1][2][4]. He further threatened that Iran would retaliate again if it deems necessary, warning of severe consequences for any future U.S. aggression against Iran [1].

Khamenei minimized the damage inflicted on Iranian nuclear facilities during the conflict, implying that the damage was not as severe as claimed and that Iran would promptly restore its nuclear program [5]. He labelled Israel as a "phantom Zionist regime" and praised the Islamic Republic's people for their victory over a nearly vanquished enemy [3][5].

In essence, Khamenei portrayed the 12-day war as a strong Iranian win, characterized by withstanding enemy attacks, inflicting symbolic retaliations, and emerging politically and militarily stronger, in his belief [1][2][4][5].

  • In response to the U.S. airstrikes, Iran launched missile strikes on American bases in Iraq and Qatar, although there were no reported casualties [1][2][5].
