Iran Supreme Leader say : US Has Not Benefited from This War

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a strong statement on Friday, asserting that the United States has gained nothing from its involvement in the recent regional conflict. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, where the recent conflict between Iran and Israel threatened to escalate into a broader regional war involving global powers.

• Ayatollah Khamenei stated the U.S. has failed to achieve any strategic advantage from the conflict.

• He accused the U.S. of fueling instability in the Middle East.

• Khamenei said Iran's resistance and unity had disrupted U.S. objectives.

• The Supreme Leader warned that the U.S. faces long-term consequences from this confrontation.

• He reaffirmed Iran’s right to defend itself under international law.

The Supreme Leader’s remarks come just days after a temporary ceasefire between Iran and Israel was brokered with the involvement of the United States. Tensions had escalated sharply following:

• Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.

• Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone attacks.

• Increased U.S. military deployments in the region, including F-22 Raptors and naval reinforcements.

These events triggered widespread concern over the potential for a broader war that could engulf the Middle East and disrupt global energy markets.

In his televised remarks, Khamenei strongly criticized U.S. foreign policy:

“The United States entered this war with the illusion of controlling the outcome. Instead, it has only deepened the crisis and failed to protect its so-called allies. It has not benefited — neither strategically, politically, nor economically.”

“The resistance of the Iranian people and armed forces has shown the world that Iran will not bow to pressure or threats. This war has exposed the true face of Washington's imperialism.”

According to Iranian officials and analysts close to the regime, the U.S. miscalculated the consequences of supporting Israel in this conflict:

• Diminished U.S. credibility among Muslim countries.

• No military gains, despite advanced weapon deployments.

• Growing anti-American sentiment in regional countries.

• Heightened calls for regional autonomy and resistance blocs.

• Russia and China have echoed concerns over American involvement in the conflict.

• Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia condemned both Israeli strikes and U.S. support.

• United Nations officials have urged all parties to return to diplomatic dialogue.

Many international observers agree that the U.S. has found itself in a diplomatic dilemma, caught between supporting an ally (Israel) and avoiding a wider war.

Khamenei’s statement also served as a direct message to the global community:

• Iran stands ready for defense, not aggression.

• The nation supports a regional solution to regional issues, free from external interference.

• Iran reaffirms commitment to diplomacy, but only if it is based on mutual respect.

Global oil prices surged during the peak of the conflict but have since stabilized after the ceasefire.
The geopolitical balance in the region may shift as nations re-evaluate their diplomatic alliances.
Anti-war protests have emerged in several European and American cities, calling for de-escalation and withdrawal.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s statement that the U.S. has not benefited from this war reflects Iran’s broader strategy of resistance and resilience. While the ceasefire offers a temporary pause in hostilities, the ideological and geopolitical divisions remain stark. The international community now looks to whether Washington will adjust its strategy or continue down a path of confrontation.
