Khamenei Breaks Week-Long Silence with Public Remarks

Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei made his first public statement in a week, congratulating Iranians on a perceived victory over Israel and the US, after a period of silence following US military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. In a video, he claimed that the US entered the conflict to support Israel and suggested Iran's resilience, but did not address the damage or nuclear program status. His absence had raised concerns about his health and whereabouts amid ongoing tensions.
