Khamenei Dismisses Trump's Claims on US Strikes

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that US President Donald Trump exaggerated the impact of US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. This came after a ceasefire in the war with Israel. Khamenei claimed victory over Israel and vowed never to surrender to the United States. He mentioned that American strikes did not significantly damage Iran's nuclear facilities. Khamenei also congratulated Iran for its victory over Israel.

Following the ceasefire, there was a dispute in the United States over the actual damage caused by American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to provide a new assessment of the attacks. The US administration claimed to have destroyed key Iranian nuclear facilities, setting back Iran's nuclear program by decades.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei confirmed that nuclear installations were badly damaged. The war disrupted nuclear talks between Iran and the United States. Trump expressed hope for a comprehensive peace agreement and mentioned plans for discussions with Iran.

The war resulted in civilian casualties on both sides, with a state funeral planned in Tehran for top commanders and nuclear scientists killed in the conflict.
