Supreme leader says Iran dealt enemies 'dizzying blow'

  • On Friday, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a defiant Nowruz message claiming the country dealt enemies a "dizzying blow," as fresh blasts struck Tehran on the first day of the Persian New Year.
  • This statement marks the latest from Mojtaba Khamenei since he succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the conflict's start; the current war is the third Iran has faced in 12 months.
  • Rejecting claims of involvement in attacks on Oman and Turkey, Mojtaba Khamenei blamed "deception by the Zionist enemy" in reference to Israel, denying regional allies' participation in the strikes.
  • Israel accused Tehran of an "attack on the holy sites" of Jerusalem after a blast created a crater near the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Western Wall, drawing an angry response from the foreign ministry.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Iran is "being decimated" and the war is "ending a lot faster than people think," though he warned a "ground component" may be required to dislodge the government.
