*Ayatollah Khomenei issues his first statement after the Israeli attacks:* “At dawn today, the Zionist regime extended its vile and blood-stained hand to commit a crime in our beloved country, further exposing its wicked nature by targeting residential areas. The regime must now await severe punishment. The powerful hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic will not let them go unpunished, Inshallah. In the enemy’s attacks, a number of commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately carry on their duties, Inshallah. With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself—and it will certainly receive it.” https://x.com/IndiaStrikes_/status/1933398633384456543
