Iran state media to air Khamenei message 'in a few minutes'

Iranian state media said it will air on Thursday a video message from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has not delivered a public statement since a ceasefire ended Israel's 12-day war with the country earlier this week.

"The third video message by supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei addressed to the Iranian nation will be published in a few minutes," the official IRNA news agency said.

Khamenei appeared in a pre-taped video message on 13 June, the day Israel began its offensive, followed another on June 18, before the ceasefire took hold on Tuesday.
