This handout picture provided by the office of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei shows him greeting an audience during a meeting with military personnel and veterans of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, in Tehran on September 25 2024. Iran's supreme leader said on September 25 that Israel's killing of top Hezbollah commanders couldn't bring the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group to its knees. The Israel-Lebanon border has seen near-daily exchanges of fire since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October, after Palestinian militant group Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel.
