Khamenei Declares U.S. Failed in Iran-Israel War

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a scathing rebuke of the United States and Israel during a televised address, declaring that Washington’s intervention in the recent conflict brought “no success” and warning of strong retaliation in the future.

Khamenei said the U.S. joined the war to save Israel from complete defeat, but its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities yielded “little to no results.” He dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s involvement as “mere showmanship.”

“Trump said Iran should surrender — but we will never surrender. This nation stood united,” Khamenei asserted.

Iranian Retaliation a "Victory"

The Supreme Leader praised the Iranian military’s response, saying it shattered the image of invincibility surrounding the Zionist state.

“Those who attack Iran will pay a heavy price,” he warned.

Khamenei claimed that Iran’s missile strikes reached key U.S. military bases and that Iran now has strategic access to U.S. positions in the region.

He congratulated the 90 million-strong Iranian nation for standing shoulder to shoulder with its armed forces and maintaining national unity during the crisis.

Iran Ends Cooperation with IAEA

In a major development, Iranian state media reported that the Guardian Council has ratified a parliamentary bill to suspend Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The bill comes in response to recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on nuclear sites and reflects growing Iranian defiance toward international monitoring.

Observers warn that the move could further escalate tensions with Western powers and complicate future negotiations on nuclear non-proliferation.

Background: U.S.-Iran-Israel Conflict

The conflict erupted in mid-June following Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military installations, triggering a wave of Iranian missile retaliation. The U.S. later bombed key Iranian sites, claiming they posed an “imminent nuclear threat.”

Despite claims of success from Washington, Iran insists its nuclear program remains intact, while calling the strikes “unprovoked acts of war.”
