Iran would respond to any future U.S. attack by striking American military bases in the Middle East, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday, in his first televised remarks since a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel.

The U.S. strikes on Iran have only set back the country’s nuclear ambitions by a few months, according to a leaked intelligence report. President Donald Trump refuted the preliminary assessment and said Tehran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated.

A fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel appeared to hold Tuesday after initially faltering, and U.S. President Donald Trump expressed frustration with both sides, saying they had fought ''for so long and so hard'' that they do not know what they are doing.
