Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ludicrously claimed victory over Israel and said he “delivered a hand slap to America’s face” during his first address to his nation following the cease-fire.
Khamenei said he was “victorious” in the 12-day war despite reportedly losing years of progress to its nuclear programs, including scientists and the “obliteration” of three nuclear enrichment facilities.
“The Islamic Republic was victorious and, in retaliation, delivered a hand slap to America’s face,” Khamenei said Thursday.
The head of the Islamic Regime has been in hiding since Israel launched Operation “Rising Lion” on June 13, fearing an assassination attempt from the Jewish State.
Israel had launched hundreds of missiles around Tehran, along with a covert operation that destroyed ground-to-air and ground-to-ground defense systems.
Khamenei’s address comes five days after President Trump ordered seven B-2 bombers to drop “bunker busting” bombs onto the underground Fordow nuclear site, as nuclear capable submarines launched cruise missiles at two others sites, Natanz and Isfahan.
“US hit nuclear sites but couldn’t achieve much,” Khamenei said in a televised speech before calling out Trump.
“US President Trump needed to do showmanship,” he said.
