Iran to Decide on Response to Israeli Attack, Says Supreme Leader

 

In the wake of a recent Israeli airstrike on Iranian territory, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on Iranian officials to determine the most effective way to showcase Iran’s power in response. The attack, which occurred two nights ago, has heightened tensions between the two nations.

According to Iran’s official IRNA news agency, Khamenei emphasized the importance of a strategic and calculated response that would demonstrate Iran’s strength without escalating the conflict unnecessarily. The Supreme Leader’s directive comes as both countries navigate a complex geopolitical landscape, with regional stability hanging in the balance.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the airstrike as “precise and powerful,” claiming it achieved all intended objectives, including targeting Iranian defense capabilities and missile production facilities. Meanwhile, Khamenei urged Iranian officials to carefully assess the situation and respond in a manner that underscores Iran’s resilience and strategic capabilities.

The international community is closely monitoring the developments, as any significant escalation could have far-reaching implications for regional and global security.
