Iran’s supreme leader resurfaces to warn against future US attacks

By Farnoush Amiri, The Associated Press and David Rising, The Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday his country had delivered a “slap to America’s face” with its strike on a U.S. airbase in Qatar, and warned against any further attacks in his first public comments since a ceasefire was declared with Israel after 12 days of war.

Khamenei spoke in a recorded video broadcast on Iranian state television, his first appearance since June 19. The 86-year-old, a skilled orator known for his forceful addresses to the country’s more than 90 million people, appeared and sounded more tired than he had just a week ago, speaking in a hoarse voice and occasionally stumbling over his words.

The speech, which went on for more than 10 minutes, was filled with warnings and threats directed toward the United States and Israel, the Islamic Republic’s longtime adversaries.

Defense News

The US forcing Middle East regime change hasn’t worked out well at all, from a failed state in Libya up to the Afghan disaster and maybe call Iraq a wash- replacing Sadam with something marginally better. Trump apparently feels the juice isn’t worth the squeeze and is happy to let the Iranians deal with Iran. I fail to see the downside of this.

  1. If you go to PressTV, (Irans state media), they are claiming a great victory over the US and Israel:

    “In his message following the end of the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic and the regime’s unilateral declaration of a ceasefire, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on Thursday congratulated the Iranian nation on its glorious victory.

    In a televised message, the third since June 13 when the Israeli regime launched its unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the Zionist regime was crushed under the blows of the Iranian armed forces.

    “I feel it is necessary to extend several congratulations to the great Iranian nation. First, congratulations on the victory over the fake Zionist regime. Despite all its noise and claims, the Zionist regime was nearly brought to its knees and crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic,” Ayatollah Khamenei stated.

    The Leader paid tribute to the martyrs of the recent events, including senior military commanders and scientists, whom he described as “truly and rightfully valuable” to the Islamic Republic and faithful in their service until martyrdom.

    Ayatollah Khamenei said the idea of the Islamic Republic being capable of delivering such devastating strikes had never even crossed the enemy’s mind, but it did happen.

    “We thank God for aiding our armed forces, who managed to breach their advanced multilayered defense systems and flatten large parts of their military and urban centers with powerful missile and weapons strikes,” he said.”

    Sure, buddy.

    1. To quote the Bee; Iranian Nuclear Facilities destroyed giant bombs launched by the great Satan, completely obliterating the bombs.

    2. I think it was that same website that claimed they shot down something like 3-6 IAF fighters.

  4. The Mullahs, as in all dictatorships, tightly control the media. Elon’s Starlink can be useful in getting more or less the truth out to the masses. Granted, you have the media and scumbags like Chris Murphy shitting all over our efforts. The attacks on Qatar were window dressing to keep the Mullahs from losing face.

  6. So if that was a slap in the face then what does he call the B-2s boot in the ass?

    1. Even in the disconnected from reality, mumble mouth style that Democrats know and love.

  9. “…speaking in a hoarse voice and occasionally stumbling over his words.”
    They’re describing Autopen Ali Khamenei

  11. It’s no different than the skinny little antisocial nerd thinking that he won because he sneered at the Star Quarterback when he wasn’t looking a few hours after he got swirlied by the jocks for the third time in a week!

  12. My stern warning to Khamenei: repent or you will spend eternity in Hell with your pedophile-pseudoprophet.

  13. He must be under the misconception that America still sends pallets of currency in the dead of the night to them whenever they have a tantrum. The Ayatollah may want to speak to Alex from Senior Health Care Benefits to ensure that thanks to recent legislation passed in his autocracy, he now qualifies for full coverage of his funeral, burial and cremation expenses.

  14. Of course they were going to claim victory.
    They survived, surely that’s evidence of their victory.

  16. Before I can take him seriously, he’s gonna have to get someone to take clippers and clean up the eye brows!

    He almost has enough hair in those to make Jasmine Crockett a new weave!

    1. He’s giving Senator (D) Merkley from Oregon a run for his money for overgrown eyebrows.

  18. “…is happy to let the Iranians deal with Iran. I fail to see the downside of this.” WORD!

    Or in the words of Gnrl Curtis LeMay…”Kill enough of them and they’ll quit fighting”…or not.

    Prepare
