Mojtaba Khamenei credited an extraordinary unity among Iranians for weakening adversaries in his latest message to the nation amid war with the United States and Israel.
He said, "Due to the strange unity created among compatriots, a fracture has occurred in the enemy," describing Tehran's unity as a strategic advantage.
Khamenei also cautioned against alleged external influence campaigns and urged Iranians to sustain the momentum.
The remarks come as Iran's Supreme Leader has not appeared in public since taking office in February, fuelling speculation about his condition and even whether he is still alive.
A report by The New York Times said Khamenei remains mentally alert but has handed over key decision-making to generals in the Revolutionary Guards.
