Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of a 'crushing response' to attacks from Israel and the US. This statement comes in response to Israel's recent military strike on Iranian targets, escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly given Iran's internal economic issues and regional conflicts related to the Israeli-Hamas war. Khamenei's remarks reflect the fragile state of relations and the ongoing instability in the region, as both Iran and its allies, including Hezbollah and Hamas, face increased pressures from Israeli military actions.
