The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a rare public appearance, addressed worshippers in Tehran. Calling the airstrikes on Israel "totally legal and legitimate," he justified them as a "public service." With a rifle by his side, he spoke to thousands at a mosque just days after Iran's missile attack on Israel. Khamenei further stated that the missile attack was the "minimum punishment" for Israel's crimes. "Hezbollah's fight is a vital service to the entire region," said Iran's Supreme Leader, who backs the Lebanese political group, during the sermon. He also defended the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel as "logical and legal." Khamenei remains a prime target for Israel, which has vowed to retaliate after the October 8 missile attack. His rare public sermon, the first in five years, represents a significant display of defiance amid ongoing threats to his life. ‘Misinformed and Unacceptable’: India Hits Out at Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Remarks on Muslim Community in South Asian Country.
