“In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine,” he famous, warning that Tehran had taken “steps to weaponise this enriched uranium” and will develop a nuclear weapon inside months.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday stated that Iran’s armed forces had been able to face Israel.

In a collection of posts on X, he stated, “The Zionist regime has made a big mistake, a grave error, and committed a reckless act. By God’s grace, the consequences of this will bring that regime to ruin. The Iranian nation won’t permit the blood of its valued martyrs to go unavenged, nor will it ignore the violation of its airspace. Our Armed Forces are ready, and the country’s officials and all the people are behind the Armed Forces.”

He stated that Iran will present no mercy to Israel. “Today, we must give a strong response to the evil, despicable, terrorist Zionist identity. God willing, we will respond with strength, and will show no mercy to them. Life will definitely become bitter for the Zionists. The Zionist regime will not escape safely from the heinous crime they’ve committed.” (ANI)
