Khamenei: Officials to decide Iran's show of power against 'Israel'
Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei says that Iranian authorities are responsible for showcasing the nation's strength to the Israeli entity.
During a meeting with the families of “Martyrs of Security” at Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah in Tehran on Sunday, Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei stated that Iranian authorities are responsible for determining how to demonstrate Iran's power to the Israeli ent
ity.
He emphasized the need to counter "Israel’s" miscalculations, noting that “They (the Israelis) need to understand the power, determination, and innovation of the Iranian nation and its youth.”
Sayyed Khamenei stated that it is up to Iranian officials to decide how to effectively communicate the power and determination of the Iranian nation to "Israel", emphasizing that actions should align with the nation's and the country's best interests.
He also acknowledged the importance of accurately representing "Israel's" harmful actions, advising against both exaggeration and underestimation.
Sayyed Khamenei urges global community to take a stand against Zionists
The Iranian leader emphasized that when it comes to confronting "Israel", there is a significant failure on the part of governments, nations, and international bodies like the United Nations. He pointed out that "the regime’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon represent some of the most brutal war crimes."
He urged the global community to take a stand against the Zionists, particularly calling on Islamic governments to act. He stressed that supporting "Israel is one of the worst and biggest sins" and advocated for the formation of a global political and economic coalition against the entity, including a military one if necessary.
Additionally, Sayyed Khamenei warned that a nation unable to defend itself will inevitably lose its security, stating that "national power," which encompasses strength in areas like science, the economy, defense, and weaponry, is crucial for maintaining a country's security.

Iranian air defenses successfully intercepted hostile targets aimed at military bases in the southern and western parts of Tehran Province, outside the capital city itself, our correspondent pointed out.
Air defenses foil second wave of Israeli attacks
Hours after the first attack was launched, another wave of aerial targets was detected over Iran, at around 4:30 am. Medium-range air defenses were activated to shoot down all hostile objects over Tehran, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

US 'complicit' in Israeli aggression against Iran
Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations has said the United States has enabled the Israeli regime to carry out airstrikes against Iran by allowing Israeli fighter jets to use Iraqi airspace to launch missiles at Iranian military and radar sites.
In a statement released on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, the Iranian mission noted that Israeli fighter jets conducted the attacks from Iraqi airspace, approximately 70 miles from the Iranian border.
“The Iraqi airspace is under the occupation, command, and control of the U.S. military,” the statement asserted. It concluded that “U.S. complicity in this crime is certain.”
The Iranian Air Defense Forces said early Saturday morning that the country’s integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered the Israeli strikes targeting military locations in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces.
The attacks caused limited damage in some locations and the dimensions of the incident are under investigation, the statement added.
In a separate statement on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli airstrikes as a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter, reiterating the country’s right to defend itself against foreign acts of aggression.
