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.
