(MEMRI-TV) In a televised address on June 26, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei congratulated the Iranian people on their "victory" over Israel and the U.S. He claimed the Zionist regime has been nearly annihilated and "crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic" during the war, and said the U.S. directly entered the conflict because it feared the Israeli regime's total destruction. Khamenei added: "Nevertheless, they have achieved nothing in this war." He argued that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities had "failed to achieve anything significant" and that President Trump had exaggerated the impact of those strikes. He said the Islamic Republic delivered a "resounding slap in America's face" by attacking Al-Udeid Base in Qatar.
