Iran's Khamenei Says US Gained Nothing From Strikes on Nuclear Sites

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the United States had achieved nothing from its recent attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Speaking publicly for the first time since the strikes, Khamenei stated that such actions only highlighted Iran's strength and resilience.

“The enemy gained nothing and will continue to gain nothing,” he said, referring to the U.S., without mentioning it directly. Khamenei claimed the attacks only served to "expose the enemy’s weakness."

Last week, reports emerged of U.S. airstrikes targeting various Iranian nuclear facilities, following escalating regional tensions. Tehran has maintained that its nuclear programme is peaceful and denied any wrongdoing.
