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. 🔥
