Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has defended the country’s missile attack on Israel, describing it as “legal and legitimate”. He was speaking at a sermon, leading Friday prayers in Tehran for the first time in years. It was also his first public appearance since Iran launched 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this week. Tensions have reached new highs amid escalating cross-border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. Trent Murray reports from Tel Aviv.
