Iran’s culture minister has called the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei as the commander of the fight against the psychological warfare by enemies.

Abbas Salehi made the remarks in a post on his X account after Ayatollah Khamenei delivered a public sermon at the weekly Friday prayers to a huge number of worshipers gathered at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla in central Tehran.
 
“The initiative of the Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution in his presence in the Friday prayers showed that he is also the commander of countering the psychological warfare of the enemy,” Salehi wrote.
 
He said the Leader’s presence and the gathering of millions of people in the sermons were like the missiles launched by Iran in its recent retaliatory operation against Israel, dubbed Operation True Promise II.
 
They symbolize “dignity, glory and strength”, the minister emphasized.
 
The Islamic Republic launched hundreds of missiles towards the Israeli entity’s military, and espionage and intelligence bases all over the occupied Palestinian territories as part of Operation True Promise II on Tuesday.
 
In his Friday address, Ayatollah Khamenei hailed “the brilliant work of our armed forces” in launching the missile strike on the Tel Aviv area, saying it was “completely legal and legitimate”.
 
“The brilliant work of our armed forces was completely legal and legitimate. What our armed forces did was the least punishment for the usurping Zionist regime over the astonishing crimes of this wolf-like regime and rabid dog of America," the Leader said.
