Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has delivered a sermon at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla Mosque in a rare public appearance.
In the sermon, he defended Iran's missile attack on Israel earlier this week as a "minimum punishment".
The last time Khamenei delivered his Friday prayer was shortly after Iranian General, Qasem Soleimani, died in a US drone attack near Baghdad's airport in 2020 and subsequent Iran's attack on US military bases in Iraq.
