Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says US, Israel aim to weaken Iran’s leadership by assassinating key figures - Anadolu Ajansı

Iran’s Ali Larijani, senior advisor to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, said on Friday that negotiations with the US over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear issue are not currently on the agenda and should not be rushed.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei charges that Israel's June offensive sought to "weaken the system" and incite internal unrest for regime overthrow.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that Israel's attacks aimed to destabilize Iran. The attacks included bombings and targeted killings. Iran retaliated with drone and missile strikes. The United States also launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

After the 12-day war in June, the issue of who will succeed Iran's longtime supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has become more urgent.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel's attacks during last month's 12-day war were intended to weaken the Islamic republic's system and spark unrest to topple it.

U.S. intel agencies say Iran's nuclear program is in tatters. Israel killed 30 Iranian military commanders. But Iran's supreme leader has a different take on the 12-day war.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday made his first public appearance since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran began, attending a mourning ceremony on the eve of Ashoura.

The long absence of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from public life had fueled speculation about his health and threats to his life.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered his first public address since the recent ceasefire, issuing stark warnings to both the United States and Israel. Khamenei claimed that Iran's missile strike inflicted a "heavy blow" on a US base in Qatar,
