Iran’s Khamenei Threatens More US Attacks After Ceasefire

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his first public address since a ceasefire with Israel, declared that Iran had "slapped America in the face" with a missile attack on a U.S. base in Qatar and warned of similar future attacks if the U.S. strikes again. Khamenei emphasized that the Islamic Republic was victorious in the recent conflict and criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for exaggerating the damage caused by American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. He asserted that the U.S. gained nothing from the war and that any future American aggression would result in a heavy price. Khamenei's remarks came amid a tense standoff in the region, following the deadliest 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel. The Supreme Leader also credited Iran for delivering a severe blow to the "fallacious Zionist regime" and praised the Iranian nation for its perceived victory. His statements underscore ongoing hostility towards the U.S. and signal readiness for further retaliatory actions if provoked.
