Khamenei Issues Stark Warning To Israel, US: 'Crushing Response' If Iran Targeted
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a stark warning to Israel and the United States, vowing a "crushing response" if Iran is targeted.
In a speech on Sunday, Khamenei said that Iran would not hesitate to defend itself against any aggression, and that any attack on Iran would be met with a "crushing response."
"We will not allow anyone to harm our country," Khamenei said. "We will not allow anyone to destabilize our region."
Khamenei's warning comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States
Khamenei's warning comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States. In recent weeks, the United States has imposed new sanctions on Iran, and has threatened to take military action if Iran does not comply with its demands.
Iran has denied any wrongdoing, and has vowed to resist any aggression from the United States.
The situation between Iran and the United States is becoming increasingly dangerous, and there is a real risk that a conflict could break out. It is important for all parties involved to work to de-escalate the situation and find a peaceful solution.
