Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed any discussion of whether Tehrans retaliatory barrage of airstrikes on Israel a week earlier hit anything there.
The Israel-Iran issue remains delicate for the president as he gears up his reelection effort amid tensions in the Middle East, Russia and Indo-Pacific.
An attack on Rafah, the last refuge in Gaza, appears imminent and ongoing Israel-Iran tensions are complicating hopes President Joe Biden will stop it.
Israel and Iran on Friday both played down an apparent Israeli airstrike near a major air base and nuclear site in central Iran.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
An Israeli military spokesman said that 99% of the drones and missiles launched by Iran were intercepted.
The former national security adviser also criticized President Joe Bidens strategy in the Middle East.
Gantz appeared to caution against immediate retaliation for Iran's overnight missile attack, stressing that Israel should respond "at the time that suits us."
The retaliatory attack confirmed anxieties about the Gaza crisis spiraling into a broader war. But Iran, Israel, the U.S. and Hamas also walked away with gains.
Israel has hailed the success of its defenses in the face of an unprecedented attack by Iran.
President Joe Biden is lauding American forces who helped Israel down nearly all of the drones and missiles fired by Iran.
