Only hours after releasing a video in which he warned Israel and the United States, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, renewed his threats against Israel, posting directly on the platform X.
Using his Hebrew-language account, which had been suspended last week but was subsequently restored, Khamenei stated, “The US and the Zionist regime will receive a crushing response to what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front.”
Khamenei’s latest threats came after he appeared in a video message earlier in the day, promising a “crushing response” to actions by Israel and the United States, echoing his previous statements.
These warnings come amid indications that Khamenei has instructed the Supreme National Security Council to get ready for potential military action against Israel.
A report in The New York Times from Thursday indicated that Khamenei moved forward with this plan after reviewing a comprehensive report from senior military officials. The report outlined damage to Iran’s missile production capabilities, air defense systems around Tehran, vital energy infrastructure, and a key southern port.
A senior source told CNN on Wednesday that Iran is planning another attack on Israel, likely before the U.S. presidential election next Tuesday.
According to this source, Iran’s anticipated response to Israel’s air strikes on its military assets last week is expected to be significant.
An Israeli military official told CNN on Thursday that Israel is on a “high level of readiness” for any potential retaliatory moves by Iran.
The Israeli source mentioned, however, that they are “still assessing the decision-making process in Iran” to determine if and when any response will be launched.
