Iran’s supreme leader warns of stronger response to future attacks

Investing.com - Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared Wednesday that the country stands ready to respond to any renewed military attack against it.

Khamenei’s comments, broadcast on Iranian state television, included an assertion that Tehran possesses the capability to deliver a more significant blow to adversaries than it did during the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict in April.

The supreme leader specifically referenced last month’s military exchange between Iran and Israel, framing it as a demonstration of Iranian defensive capabilities while suggesting future responses could be more severe.

The statements come amid ongoing regional tensions following the direct military confrontation between Iran and Israel, which represented an unprecedented escalation in the decades-long shadow conflict between the two nations.

Iranian state media emphasized Khamenei’s warning that any future military action against Iran would be met with a stronger response than what was witnessed during the April hostilities.
