Iranian supreme leader says Iran’s enemies have 'miscalculated' attacks and country remains united Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei has said that US and Israel’s expectations that their attacks would topple the Iranian government were a “gross miscalculation” in a written statement released to state media. In a message for the Persian New Year, Nowruz, on Friday, Khamenei wrote that “despite all differences in religious, intellectual, cultural and political origins”, the country was united while “a fracture has emerged in the enemy”. Khamenei is Iran’s third Supreme Leader, having taken over from his father when he was killed in a US air strike at the start of the war.
