Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a rare Friday sermon, vowing to defeat Israel after recent airstrikes. Addressing thousands in Tehran, he backed Hezbollah and Hamas, describing their fight as a "jihad for al-Aqsa mosque." Khamenei praised the martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, killed in an Israeli airstrike last week. He called Hezbollah a "blessed tree" and stated that Nasrallah’s legacy would inspire resistance against the Zionist regime. The speech highlighted the ongoing tensions, marking Khamenei's first Friday sermon in five years as threats to his life intensify.
