Iran's Supreme Leader Says Country Delivered 'Heavy Slap' to U.S. in First Remarks Since Ceasefire

  • On Thursday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that his nation had given the United States a symbolic rebuke following the ceasefire agreement in the conflict between Iran and Israel.
  • The ceasefire followed a conflict that started mid-June when Israel launched attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and key military leaders, leading to U.S. involvement to support Israel.
  • On Monday, Iran launched a missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar causing no casualties, which Khamenei described as the hand slap to America.
  • On Wednesday, the CIA Director stated that trustworthy intelligence reveals several major Iranian nuclear sites have been demolished and will require years to reconstruct.
  • Khamenei declared victory over Israel and the U.S., warning of heavy retaliation if attacked again, while Trump confirmed planned U.S.-Iran talks and claimed setbacks to Iran’s nuclear program.
