Khamenei Downplays U.S. Strikes, Warns of More Retaliation if Iran Is Attacked Again. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has dismissed recent U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear facilities, saying they achieved "nothing significant" and did not disrupt the country's nuclear program. In his first public remarks since the ceasefire with Israel, Khamenei claimed Iran's retaliatory strike on a U.S. base in Qatar delivered a "heavy blow” and warned that future attacks on Iran would be met with severe consequences. Meanwhile, U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, insist the strikes crippled Iran's nuclear capabilities, with intelligence showing years of progress were wiped out. Iran, however, has passed a bill to end cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, further escalating tensions. As the U.S. weighs diplomatic options, Iran's foreign minister says no talks with Washington are planned. Over 600 Iranians and 28 Israelis died in the recent conflict, which saw the U.S. directly involved for the first time.
