Iran's top guide has been published for the first time since conflict with Israel

According to the Iranian state media service Press TV, the highest leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took part in a religious meeting on Saturday. This was his first public appearance for several weeks.

public publication with Israel

Khamenei had recently shown itself publicly when the conflict with Israel began on June 13 when Israel unilaterally bombed Iranian military and nuclear locations. As a result, the USA also intervened and bombed three significant Iranian nuclear systems before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire.

religious assembly and reactions

In a video published by Press TV on X, Khamenei waves a lot of black -clad believers who commit the eve of Aschura - an important day for Shiites on which they mourn the death of Husayn Ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The gathered welcomed the clergyman with jubilation calls.

hidden in a bunker

khamenei, the longest incumbent guide in the Middle East, said the 12 days of the conflict report in a bunker and had only limited access to communication means. During the conflict, both Israeli politicians and Trump openly discussed a possible fall of Khamenis government and a violent deposition.

Trump's threat and khamenis statement

After Trump reported reported an Israeli plan for killing Khameneis, he said at the end of June that the clergyman was a "simple goal". Even Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out Khamei, and said that his death would not "escalate" the conflict, but would "end".

in a recorded message that was published a few days after the start of the ceasefire from an unknown place, Khamenei was defiant despite the circumstances and explained the victory over Israel and the USA. He addressed Trump's demand for an "unconditional surrender" and emphasized: "This conflict is not affected by our nuclear program. It is about that Iran does not surrender. The Americans have had a fundamental problem with Islamic Iran since our Revolution."

call and international reactions

Nevertheless, the conflict with Israel and the USA could have damaged Khamenis in Iran. Analysts noted in June that the initial attacks of Israel were unprecedented in their intensity and even some of the country's most high -ranking military leaders were killed on the first day.

Ali Vaez, director of the Iran project at the International Crisis Group, said: "The Islamic Republic had a social contract with the company in which it has withdrawn all freedom to ensure security. This picture is now destroyed in the eyes of the Iranian people."

concerns about the Iranian nuclear program

Khameneis renewed public appearance took place a day after Trump announced journalists on board Air Force One that the United States would not allow Iran to resume its nuclear program. "If you started, there would be a problem. We would not allow it," said Trump.

talks between the USA and Israel

Trump announced that the previous attacks with Netanyahu, who will visit Washington on Monday, announced. The statements also reflect statements by Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz, who emphasized that his country had to maintain the "air superiority" over Iran to ensure that the country cannot rebuild its nuclear or missile programs.

In addition, Trump repeated his claim that Iran would like to meet the USA for talks, which was repeatedly denied by Iranian officials. The Trump administration also discussed that Iran potentially grants up to $ 30 billion in order to build a nuclear program for civilian energy production, with sanctions loosening and billions of dollars from $ dollar from blocked Iranian means-all part of an increasing attempt to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table.
