Khamenei Declares ‘Victory’ Over Israel, Claims US Intervention Saved Israeli Regime

Following a recent ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a televised address today, June 26, 2025, proclaiming a decisive victory for the Islamic Republic. In his remarks, Khamenei asserted that Iran’s actions had compelled the United States to directly intervene in the conflict, claiming that without Washington’s intervention, the ‘Zionist regime’ would have faced complete destruction.

Khamenei’s bold statements, which he also echoed on social media, included congratulating the Iranian populace on what he termed ‘our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime.’ He reiterated his belief that the US entered the war solely to safeguard Israel, an effort he characterized as ultimately fruitless.

Further escalating his claims, the Supreme Leader stated that Iranian forces had ‘taught a lesson’ to the United States during the recent hostilities. He specifically alleged that Iranian attacks inflicted damage on the Al-Udeid Air Base, a significant US military installation in the region. This assertion was reinforced by a post from Khamenei’s official account, which read, “The Islamic Republic delivered a heavy slap to the US’s face. It attacked and inflicted damage on the Al-Udeid Air Base, which is one of the key US bases in the region.” These declarations mark a significant moment following the recent cessation of hostilities, painting a picture of Iranian triumph and American failure from Tehran’s perspective.
