Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Iran's armed forces have "unforgettable lessons" ready for Washington after U.S. strikes hit a wedding in Tehran.
U.S. airstrikes that targeted a wedding ceremony in Tehran earlier this week resulted in significant civilian casualties, drawing sharp condemnation from Tehran. In response, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told state media that Iran's armed forces are prepared to deliver "unforgettable lessons" to Washington, hinting at possible retaliatory measures.
The strike, which hit the venue during celebrations, reportedly killed dozens and injured many more, though exact figures remain unverified. Iran's foreign ministry lodged a formal protest, accusing the United States of violating international law and sovereignty.
Khamenei's remarks, delivered in a televised address, underscored Tehran's resolve to defend national dignity. While no specific military action has been announced, the leader's language suggests a heightened risk of escalation in the already tense regional security environment.
International observers noted that the incident could further strain U.S.-Iran relations, which have been fraught with mutual accusations and proxy conflicts across the Middle East.
