The Zionist regime was ‘on the brink of complete collapse’ under attacks from Iranian Revolutionary Forces, he stated.

During a televised address on Thursday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei congratulated the Iranian people, stating that Israel has been “crushed” by his country and is on the verge of total collapse.

The Iranian supreme leader claimed that the Zionist regime was “on the brink of complete collapse” under attacks from Iranian revolutionary forces, which is why “the U.S. directly entered the war after realizing the Zionist entity could not withstand it without their intervention.”

Khamenei highlighted three reasons for celebration for the Persian nation. The first was specifically for the victory against Israel, while the second celebrated “dear Iran’s triumph over the U.S. regime.” The third praised the exceptional unity of the Iranian people.

“A nation of nearly 90 million people stood united, with one voice and side by side, in decisive support of its armed forces,” he said, adding that Iran not only resisted but also delivered a forceful response on both fronts, dealing a symbolic blow to the U.S. government.

In a warning tone, Khamenei stated that “aggression against Iran will come at a very high price” and that the Zionist entity “never imagined it would receive such blows from the Islamic Republic.”

The supreme leader asserted that Iranian armed forces “managed to overcome the enemy’s various defenses and strike multiple targets deep inside enemy centers.”

Khamenei dismissed statements by the U.S. president, accusing him of exaggerating events in an “unprecedented manner,” which reflects “the U.S. need for such claims to hide the truth.”

The Iranian leader revealed that the Islamic Republic’s access to vital U.S. centers such as Al-Udeid Air Base was not accidental, confirming that “the U.S. aggression against our nuclear facilities has not achieved any of the enemies’ objectives.”

Khamenei claimed that downplaying the impact of Iran’s attack on Al-Udeid was meant to “conceal the truth,” adding that “time will reveal the extent of the enemies’ losses.”

“The U.S. goal has always been to subjugate Iran,” something previous U.S. presidents did not openly admit, “unlike the current one,” the Iranian religious leader said.

Khamenei concluded his speech with a message of resilience: “The humiliation that the Americans intended to inflict on the Iranian people will not materialize, because our people are great, our state is strong, and our civilization has a long history.”
