Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has declared that his country has emerged victorious in its standoff with the United States, according to the state news agency IRNA.
Khamenei argued that US President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities revealed the weakness of Washington’s position.
He added that Iran views the US attacks as a sign of fear over the potential destruction of Israel, effectively marking the beginning of direct military confrontation.
Khamenei stated that the current situation proves the growing influence of Iran and the decline of US power in the Middle East.
Earlier, Kursiv Uzbekistan reported that Iran’s parliament supported suspending cooperation with the IAEA.
