Intel from the recent Friday prayers at Tehran's Grand Mosalla Mosque reveals Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's views on Iran's attack on Israel earlier this week. Addressing a massive crowd, Khamenei called the attack "completely legal and legitimate work" and also delivered a message to the Islamic world, particularly Lebanon and Palestine. The event also included a ceremony commemorating the death of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah by the Israeli Air Force. Khamenei expressed the need to honour Nasrallah, whom he described as an "admired personality" and urged the youth of Hezbollah to fulfil his wishes and defend the region from external threats.
In response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a stern warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring that Iran was not a belligerent but stood firmly against any threat. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, also spoke defiantly, suggesting that the attacks would intensify, while Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed over 150 missiles launched by Iran and sent millions of Israelis into bomb shelters. As both sides prepare for further action, tensions remain high in the region.
