Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is in Azerbaijan to participate in the 17th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (OS). This is the first public appearance of the Supreme Leader since the war with Israel, which began on June 13 and lasted until June 24, when US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire.

In the 12 -day war, Israel attacked military, atomic and energy facilities, as well as residential areas in Tehran, and killed at least 30 senior military commanders and 11 nuclear scientists. Iran responded with missile bombing waves. At least 935 people were killed in the conflict, including 38 children in Iran and 28 in Israel.

Khamenei appeared in a television message after the ceasefire to claim that Iran “crushed” Israel and gave “a hard slap in the US, while stated that US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities did not result in” nothing significant. “
