Iran's supreme leader defends Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel as 'logical and legal'

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Friday that last year's Hamas attack on Israel, which triggered the war in Gaza, was "logical and legal."

"The Al-Aqsa Flood attacks that took place around this time last year were a logical and legal international move, and the Palestinians were right," Khamenei said in a rare Friday prayer sermon in Tehran, which he mostly delivered in Arabic.
