Summary

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened a “crushing response” to U.S. and Israeli attacks following an October 26 Israeli strike on Iran that targeted military sites, killing five.

Khamenei’s message, coupled with comments from Revolutionary Guard spokesperson Gen. Mohammad Ali Naini, suggests Iran may strike Israel directly or intensify support for allies like Hezbollah and Hamas, as Iran’s economic struggles and historical grievances, including the upcoming U.S. Embassy hostage crisis anniversary, fuel tension.

      They could always launch a dirty missile. Shooting it down wouldn’t do a lot of good if the wind is blowing the wrong direction.

        If they want to do that, just give dirty suicide bombs to their friends in Hamas and Hezbollah.
