🇮🇷📺 BREAKING — June 26, 2025: After weeks of silence, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has appeared in a pre-recorded video broadcast on Iranian TV, addressing the nation and the world with a defiant tone.
Khamenei claimed:
• “The Zionist entity has nearly collapsed” under Iran’s military strikes.
• “America was slapped in the face” by the Islamic Republic.
• The recent U.S. airstrikes failed to significantly damage Iran’s nuclear sites.
• “Our nuclear sites remain unaffected,” he emphasized, contradicting claims from Washington.
• He warned that “any future aggression will come at a great cost” to both the U.S. and Israel.
Khamenei directly mocked U.S. President Donald Trump, saying, “Trump greatly exaggerated what happened,” and dismissed his calls for surrender:
“Too big a statement for his mouth,” Khamenei said.
He accused Iran’s enemies of using missiles and the nuclear program as excuses for seeking regime change, asserting:
“Surrender will never happen. Our nation is powerful.”
His remarks aim to reassure Iran’s domestic audience of strength and resilience while firing a clear warning shot to adversaries abroad.
