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.

    Israel keeps trying to provoke a larger conflict; any bartender would have cut them off and kicked them out long time ago.

      With their new air defense system Iran may be more confident in launching more drone and missile attacks regularly

      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.

    Don’t Iranians have any sayings equivalent to, “don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash”

    I don’t understand why the entire region hasn’t wiped Israel off the map. They’re clearly expansionist, and are clearly going to keep bombing their neighbours a little bit at a time; why just sit around and wait?

      And it’s not like they’re going to stop once they control the entire Middle East. Even the US won’t be able to reign them in at that point.
