The ayatollah's message to the nation comes after the US attacked Iranian nuclear sites, and Iran agreed a ceasefire with Israel.

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges.

Iran fired a final wave of deadly missiles at Israel before acknowledging the deal, while Israel said it accepted the proposal because all its military objectives were already achieved.
