'Slap in the face for US' - Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on missile strike









Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says that Tehran's missile attacks on US targets in Iraq were "a slap on the face."

Iran says it launched more than dozen missiles in retaliation for the killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike.

Khamenei addressed a gathering of Iranians chanting "Death to America".

The Ayatollah earlier wept bitterly as he prayed over the casket of slain General Qassem Soleimani in front of nearly a million mourners.

He was seen blinking back tears and breaking down along with those around him as he recited prayers over his long-time friend.
