Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, met a group of elites in Tehran today, Paralel.Az reports citing BBC.

He blamed the regional tension and wars on "US and some European countries" which "falsely claim they bring peace and tranquillity to the region".

He said they must "get lost" from the region so that the countries in the region can live in peace.

He said that he is "mourning" over the death of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, but did not postpone his meeting with elites because Iran's mourning is a "reviving and driving" force.

The order to launch missiles at Israel on Tuesday was made by the country's supreme leader - who remains in a secure location, a senior Iranian official told Reuters news agency.
