Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had a rifle by his side as he addressed worshippers in Tehran in a rare public sermon Friday, days after Iran's missile attack on Israel.
Khamenei delivered the sermon – his first in nearly five years – to thousands of worshippers carrying portraits of slain leaders of Iran's "axis of resistance" against Israel and the United States.
The leader also said that every country has the right to defend itself from aggressors during the sermon. He defended Iran's missile attack on Israel as "legal and legitimate".
"The operation of our armed forces a few nights ago was totally legal and legitimate," he added.
