TEHRAN, June 26, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali 
Khamenei said on Thursday that arch-enemy Israel "almost collapsed" following 
the Islamic republic's retaliatory strikes during a 12-day war launched by 
Israel.

"The Zionist regime almost collapsed and was crushed under the strikes of the 
Islamic republic," Khamenei said in a statement carried by state media, two 
days after a ceasefire ended the war.
