Khamenei Warns US and Israel Against New Attacks

Following threats from the United States and Israel regarding potential military actions against Iran, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and senior military commanders issued a warning that any new attack would lead to a wider conflict. Khamenei, in a statement, cautioned against returning to war and asserted that the Iranian armed forces would determine the response to any military or terrorist attacks.

He ordered military leaders, including armed forces chief of staff Ali Abdollahi, army chief Amir Hatami, and Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi, to prepare for an immediate and impactful response to threats. Khamenei also instructed them to update Iran's target list to include assets belonging to the "American-Zionist enemy." Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia echoed these sentiments, stating that further US regional actions would expand the war's geographical scope.

Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to prevent renewed fighting, with Qatari mediators in Tehran and US Vice President JD Vance sending a letter to Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei, although no response has been announced.
