Israel 'exaggerating' impact of attack on Iran, Khamenei claims
In a speech on Sunday morning, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei commented for the first time on Israel's attack on several areas of Iran.
"They are exaggerating," Khamenei said of the outcome of the long-awaited strikes, which were a retaliation for Tehran's Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack on Israel. "Exaggerating them is wrong, but you should note that downplaying them is also wrong," Khamenei said.
The Iranian leader said Israel miscalculated in its showdown with Tehran.
"They don't know Iran, they don't know Iran's youth, they don't know the Iranian nation and they still haven't been able to properly understand the strength, ability, initiative and will of the Iranian nation," he said.
"We should make them understand all these," Khamenei added.
