Iran’s supreme leader says US and Israel defeated on the battlefield

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says the US and Israel have failed militarily in their war and have now shifted to a campaign aimed at sowing internal division, Al Jazeera writes.

In a written message, Khamenei said the “oppressive system” led by the United States cannot accept a strong and independent Iran and described Israel as a “fabricated outpost” of that system.

“The enemy – having failed militarily and experienced deep humiliation – now wages a hybrid war focusing on two points: the people’s endurance and miscalculations by officials. Their primary tool is sowing doubt, despair, fear, and division,” he said.

“Any action that breeds cynicism or despair among the people is a form of helping the enemy of this country and its people,” Khamenei added, urging all Iranians to respond with “steadfastness, clear-sightedness and unity.”
