Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Iran's supreme leader has insisted the US "gained no achievements" from strikes on its nuclear facilities in his first public address since the ceasefire with Israel was agreed on Tuesday.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that strikes did not "accomplish anything significant" to disrupt Iran's nuclear programme, and described the retaliation against the American airbase in Qatar as dealing a "heavy blow".
It came as Washington doubled down on its assessment that the strikes had previously undermined Iran's nuclear ambitions.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said intelligence gathered by the US and Israel indicated the operation "significantly damaged the programme, setting it back years".
