Iran’s supreme leader says country delivered “hard slap” to US | BBC News

Iran’s supreme leader has given a statement to the nation, which is his first video message since the US strikes and Iran’s ceasefire with Israel.

In a post on X before the message, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed victory over Israel and said Iran delivered a "heavy slap" to the US.

He said the US "failed to achieve anything significant" by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, accusing Donald Trump of an "unusually exaggerated" account of what happened.

Two weeks ago, Israel began air strikes on Iran, before Iran responded with missiles, and after a ceasefire was agreed, Trump called it a "12-day war”.

The US also attacked Iranian nuclear sites, before Iran responded with strikes on a US base in Qatar.
