“I offer my congratulations on the victory over the fallacious Zionist regime,” a message posted Thursday on Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s X account declared. Another post added the bold claim that Israel’s government “was practically knocked out and crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic.”In a recorded video address to his nation — his first public remarks since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Israel took effect on Tuesday — Khamenei went further, suggesting a “large number of military and other targets” in Israel had been targeted by Iran’s missiles.They may have been targeted, but in reality, Iran’s 12 days of missile launches saw relatively few rockets evade Israel’s air defenses. A total of 28 people were killed, and none of them have been identified as government officials, but rather civilians killed when missiles struck apartment buildings and cities.
Israel’s strikes on Iran killed at least 30 military commanders, on the other hand, and, in combination with the U.S. strikes over the weekend, “obliterated” the country’s nuclear program, according to President Trump. The U.S.-based group Human Rights Activists in Iran, which relies on a network of sources in the country, said Wednesday that the strikes had killed at least 1,054 people in Iran, including a total of 318 military personnel.
