Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a fiery warning to Israel and the United States on Saturday, promising a “teeth-breaking response” to their recent military actions in the region. His remarks, posted on his official website, come amid rising tensions in West Asia, with both sides flexing military muscle.
'Global Arrogance' Under Fire
Khamenei accused the U.S. and Israel of hypocrisy, particularly criticizing American support for Israeli strikes in Gaza and Lebanon. “The enemies… will undoubtedly receive a teeth-breaking response,” he declared during a speech to students in Tehran, using Iran’s term “global arrogance” to describe the U.S. and its allies.
Military Moves and Counterclaims
While Iran’s air defense claimed to have neutralized Israeli strikes with “limited damage,” the U.S. military confirmed deploying B-52 bombers to the Middle East. Earlier, Israel said its “precise” strikes targeted Iranian assets in retaliation for recent attacks.
Khamenei urged Iranians to unite against external pressures, stating the country is prepared “militarily, politically, and logistically” to defend itself. Analysts warn the escalating rhetoric could further destabilize the region.
