In response to Israel's recent attack on Iranian military installations, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that the incident should "neither be exaggerated nor downplayed," calling it a "malicious act by the Zionist regime." He refrained from an outright call for retaliation but emphasized that "the Zionist regime's miscalculations must be disrupted."
