Iran’s Khamenei says ‘wrong’ to downplay Israel’s attack
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first comments about the “malignant” Israeli attack on Iran early Saturday in a meeting with the families of the four members of the armed forces who were killed.
The Israelis try to make the impact of the strikes appear larger than reality, but any move inside Iran to make them appear smaller would also be “wrong”, he said.
“It would be wrong for us to say that it was nothing and it did not matter,” Khamenei said.
“The calculation error of the Zionist regime must be disrupted. They do not know Iran, its youth, its nation. They have not yet been able to fully comprehend the power, capabilities, initiative and will of the Iranian nation, we must make them understand it.”
Khamenei also opened a Hebrew account on X after the Israeli strikes.
