Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei said the country had won the war with the US and Israel and was determined to avenge those killed, including his father.
He stressed that Iran does not want war, but will not give up its rights and will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz. He also said that compensation would be demanded from the US and Israel for the damage caused.
The statement came as US President Donald Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran. According to some sources, Mojtaba Khamenei played a key role in this agreement. At the same time, Iran accused Israel of not adhering to the ceasefire. Tensions in the region have increased again after airstrikes on Beirut.
