Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a strong warning of retaliation against Israel and the United States following recent military strikes targeting Iranian interests and allied groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas. The tensions in the region have intensified since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October last year, leading to a series of retaliatory attacks between Iran and Israel. Khamenei emphasized Iran’s readiness for a decisive military response and paid tribute to Iranian soldiers killed in the conflict, as Israeli airstrikes continue in Gaza and Lebanon, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
