Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared victory over the US and Israel following the 12-day conflict, calling Iran’s strike on the US Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar a “heavy slap.” In a televised address, Khamenei said US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites caused minimal damage and were a failed show of force by President Trump. He warned that Iran’s 90 million people would unite against any future aggression. Despite initial denials, Tehran later admitted to severe damage at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Netanyahu responded by vowing continued US-Israel cooperation to defeat “common enemies.” (PC: India Today)
