After the Iranian Army, now Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also threatened to launch a major counterattack on Israel. On Saturday, it threatened Israel and the United States to give a “befitting reply” to attacks on Iran and its allies. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's threat comes after Israel's retaliatory attack on Iraq on October 26. It has become clear that Iranian officials are talking about another attack against Israel. Earlier on October 1, Iran had attacked Israel's capital Tel Aviv with the support of Hamas and Hezbollah.
In retaliation, Israel targeted Iranian military targets and other locations on 26 October, killing at least 5 people. Another attack by both sides ahead of the US presidential election this Tuesday could embroil West Asia in a broader regional conflict, fueled by the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip and Israel's ground campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. “The enemy, whether it is the Jewish regime or the United States, will definitely be given a befitting reply for what they are doing.”
America is active in West Asia
The US military is active throughout West Asia. Some of its troops are now operating the 'Terminal High Altitude Area Defense' (THAAD) air defense system in Israel. Khamenei, 85, had taken a more hardline stance in earlier comments, saying officials would assess Iran's actions and that the Israeli attack “should neither be exaggerated nor underestimated.”
However, Iran's efforts to conceal the impact of the attack failed and analyzed satellite images revealed that the attack damaged military facilities linked to the country's ballistic missile program and destroyed Revolutionary Guard satellites and several of their top commanders. Were killed.
