Iranian leaders warn us that if we attack again, we will pay a “heavy price” – Country
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Thursday that the United States will pay a heavy price if it attacks Iran again.
Khamenei, speaking on a videotape on Iranian State Television, his debut since June 19, sounded more tired than he had just a week ago.
He told the audience that the United States only intervenes in war because “if it is not intervened, the Zionist regime will be completely destroyed.”
But he said the United States “has made any gains from this war.”
He said: “The Islamic Republic has won and has given the United States a face in revenge.
“This kind of action can also be repeated in the future,” Khamenei warned. He said Iran “can use the main centers of the region and can take action if necessary.”

“If any invasion occurs, the enemy will definitely pay a huge price,” he said.
Khamenei, 86, has not appeared in public since the 86-year-old Khamenei occupied a secret location in a secret place since the war broke out on June 13.
U.S. President Donald Trump was able to assist in negotiations for a ceasefire that took effect on Tuesday after the June 22 U.S. attack and bunker bombs hit nuclear sites.
