In his message following the end of the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic and the regime’s unilateral declaration of a ceasefire, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on Thursday congratulated the Iranian nation on its glorious victory.
In a televised message, the third since June 13 when the Israeli regime launched its unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the Zionist regime was crushed under the blows of the Iranian armed forces.
“I feel it is necessary to extend several congratulations to the great Iranian nation. First, congratulations on the victory over the fake Zionist regime. Despite all its noise and claims, the Zionist regime was nearly brought to its knees and crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic,” Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
The Leader paid tribute to the martyrs of the recent events, including senior military commanders and scientists, whom he described as “truly and rightfully valuable” to the Islamic Republic and faithful in their service until martyrdom.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the idea of the Islamic Republic being capable of delivering such devastating strikes had never even crossed the enemy’s mind, but it did happen.
“We thank God for aiding our armed forces, who managed to breach their advanced multilayered defense systems and flatten large parts of their military and urban centers with powerful missile and weapons strikes,” he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei said it proves to the Zionist regime that aggression against the Islamic Republic comes with a high cost that it will have to pay, crediting both the armed forces and the people of the Islamic Republic for the glorious victory.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution also congratulated the nation on the victory against the United States, which carried out an unprovoked aggression against Iranian nuclear sites and received massive retaliation in the form of missile strikes on its biggest military base in the West Asia region – in Qatar.
“The US entered the war directly because it feared that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed,” the Leader said. It intervened to save them but gained nothing from the war.”
He said the Americans attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities, an act that calls for legal prosecution in international courts.
Referring to the bluster of US President Donald Trump after the aggression and Iran's powerful retaliation, the Leader said the US president unusually exaggerated events, clearly showing how badly he needed to create a narrative.
“Anyone who heard his remarks could sense that behind those words lay a very different truth,” he said. “They failed to achieve their objectives, and they inflated their claims to conceal the reality.”
“Here, too, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious, delivering a harsh blow to the US—specifically targeting the Al Udeid base, one of its key regional bases, and inflicting damage,” he asserted.
“The same people who had exaggerated their own actions tried to downplay this strike, claiming nothing had happened, when in fact, something major had occurred.”
Leader of the Islamic Republic added that the fact that the Islamic Republic can access vital American facilities in the region and strike them when deemed necessary is no small matter.
“It’s a major development and it can happen again in the future,” he warned. “If aggression is repeated, the enemy will undoubtedly face a heavy cost.”
