In a July 18 Tehran public address to mark Id Al-Fitr, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei reaffirmed the “Death to America” slogan, saying that it reflects the position of the entire Iranian nation. In the address, which aired on IRINN TV, Khamenei is seen holding a rifle. In an address to diplomats and dignitaries on the same day, broadcast on Iranian Channel 1, Khamenei claimed that the U.S., rather than Iran, is the defender of terrorism, and said: “you should be brought to trial for supporting and assisting terrorism.”
