Iran's supreme leader warns US against resuming attacks
Khamenei told commanders to answer any renewed U.S. or Israeli attack with an immediate response and ordered Iran’s target list expanded, officials said.
Supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered Iran's top military commanders to answer any renewed U.S. or Israeli attack with a response "without geographical limitations," aiming to achieve maximum deterrence.
Khamenei met with Staff Gen. Abdollahi, Maj. Gen. Hatami, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander to review military readiness along the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman.
Commanders reported a "several-fold increase" in ammunition and combat weapon production while Khamenei ordered Iran's "target bank" updated to include all "American-Zionist enemy" assets within Armed Forces reach.
If enemies launch attacks, the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces and the Iranian nation will determine when hostilities end, Khamenei stated, while praising the "intelligent steadfastness" of Iran's proxies across the region.
