Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lauds attack on Israel

Iran’s supreme leader has thanked the armed forces for their operation against Israel, calling them on to “ceaselessly pursue military innovation and learn the enemy’s tactics”, according to the country’s official news agency.

“How many missiles were launched and how many of them hit their target is not the primary question, what really matters is that Iran demonstrated its willpower during that operation,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.

Iran attacked Israel on April 13 with more than 300 missiles and drones, saying it was in response to the deadly bombing of its consulate in Syria on April 1.

On Friday, explosions were heard in Isfahan in what sources said was an Israeli attack. Tehran said it has no plans for further retaliation.

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari is in Tehran for more on what Khamenei had to say.
