Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Ayatollah Khamenei, remarked that regardless of the effectiveness of the strikes, Iran showcased its strength during the recent attack on Israel.
About two weeks ago, Iran launched a barrage of drones and missiles toward Israel in response to an attack on its embassy in Damascus, Syria, on April 1. However, most of these projectiles were intercepted by Israel’s defense system.
Despite this, Khamenei praised Iran’s Armed Forces for their action against Israel. He stated on Sunday that the quantity of missiles launched and their accuracy was secondary; what mattered was Iran’s demonstration of power during the operation. He emphasized that the armed forces managed to minimize costs and maximize gains during the recent operation. Khamenei urged military officials to continuously pursue innovation in military tactics and to learn from the enemy.
However, in the early hours of Friday, explosions rocked the Iranian city of Isfahan, believed by many to be a retaliatory attack from Israel.
