The 86-year-old, a skilled orator known for his forceful addresses to the country\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s longtime adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s longtime adversaries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/06\/26\/irans-supreme-leader-resurfaces-to-warn-against-future-us-attacks\/\">Defense News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The US forcing Middle East regime change hasn&#8217;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&#8217;t worth the squeeze and is happy to let the Iranians deal with Iran.
