Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since a 12-day war with Israel, attending a mourning ceremony in Tehran. His absence during the conflict sparked security concerns. Khamenei's appearance follows a prerecorded statement claiming Iran struck a US base in Qatar. The war, triggered by Israeli fears of Iranian nuclear weapons development, resulted in significant damage to Iranian nuclear facilities and hundreds of casualties on both sides. Internet disruptions were also reported in Iran.
