Iran's supreme leader threatens U.S. and Israel with "a crushing response" over Israeli attack
Any further attacks from either side could engulf the wider Middle East, already teetering over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip and Israel's ground invasion of Lebanon, into a wider regional conflict.
Summary
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened a “crushing response” to U.S. and Israeli attacks following an October 26 Israeli strike on Iran that targeted military sites, killing five.
Khamenei’s message, coupled with comments from Revolutionary Guard spokesperson Gen. Mohammad Ali Naini, suggests Iran may strike Israel directly or intensify support for allies like Hezbollah and Hamas, as Iran’s economic struggles and historical grievances, including the upcoming U.S. Embassy hostage crisis anniversary, fuel tension.
Don’t Iranians have any sayings equivalent to, “don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash”
Israel keeps trying to provoke a larger conflict; any bartender would have cut them off and kicked them out long time ago.
What's he gonna do? Send his mom to sit on my face?
With their new air defense system Iran may be more confident in launching more drone and missile attacks regularly
That still really isn't a threat to the US
They could always launch a dirty missile. Shooting it down wouldn't do a lot of good if the wind is blowing the wrong direction.
If they want to do that. Just give dirty suicide bombs to their friends in Hamas and Hezbollah.
I don't understand why the entire region hasn't wiped Israel off the map. They're clearly expansionist, and are clearly going to keep bombing their neighbours a little bit at a time; why just sit around and wait?
They tried that once and it didn't work out very well for them
And it’s not like they’re going to stop once they control the entire Middle East. Even the US won’t be able to reign them in at that point.
