Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared victory over Israel on Thursday following their 12-day conflict, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.

“With all that clamor, with all those claims, the Zionist regime, under the blows of the Islamic Republic, has almost collapsed and been crushed,” Khamenei said in a televised message to Iranian people posted on his official X account.

“I offer my congratulations on the victory over the fallacious Zionist regime,” he added.
