Israeli politicians rebuke Iran Supreme Leader’s claims of victory in televised video, mock his weakened appearance

Jerusalem, June 26 (UNI) Israeli lawmaker and former Defence minister, Benny Gantz, staunchly rebuked Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for his televised address, where he went on to boast about an alleged Israeli defeat, reports Iran International.

“Come out of your underground hideout and see what harm and defeat you’ve brought on your own people,” he wrote in a Farsi-language message on X.

“A liar is the enemy of God,” he added.

His post came after Ali Khamenei, in his first address since the ceasefire, released a video message from an undisclosed location, claiming that Israel was “nearly brought to its knees” under Iranian strikes.

“Despite all its noise and claims, the Zionist regime was nearly crushed under the strikes of the Islamic Republic,” Khamenei said.
The 86-year-old also said that US intervention proved fruitless, claiming that the “US achieved no major gains in the war”, dealing minimal superficial damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry also joined in the fray, mocking the Supreme Leader’s visibly weak and frail appearance in the video, suggesting he looked fearful and sun-deprived.

The Persian-language account posted: “Fear or lack of sunlight? Probably both.”
