Khamenei: Zionist enemy being punished for its big mistake

As the world awaits Iran’s promised retaliation for American strikes on its nuclear sites, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called the bombing campaign Israel launched on June 13 “a big mistake” and “a big crime.”

“The Zionist enemy… is being punished right now,” Khamenei wrote on social media in the early morning, alongside an image of missiles raining down on an Israeli city, and a huge skull.

He was apparently referring to the latest missile attack on the Jewish state, which saw a single projectile launched. It was intercepted by Israeli air defenses.
