Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defended Iran’s missile strikes on Israel as “legitimate” during his first public sermon in five years. Addressing thousands in Tehran, Khamenei called Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel "a rightful move" and warned that Iran would strike again if provoked. He also praised Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, as a voice for the oppressed. Khamenei urged Muslim nations to unite against Israel and the U.S., predicting that the “Zionist entity” would be uprooted. Tensions remain high, risking further escalation in the Middle East.
