Iranian leader Ali Khamenei threatens to retaliate against any attack on Iran or its allied groups.

“The enemies, be it the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response for what they are doing to Iran, the Iranian nation and the resistance front,” Khamenei told a student rally in Tehran, referring to the Tehran-backed alliance of militant groups that include Yemen’s Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.

The Supreme Leader did not specify the timing of the attack, nor its scope.

Tehran will certainly respond to the recent Israeli attacks on Iran, Khamenei continued, adding: "Today, the issue is not only revenge, but also taking a logical measure, based on religion, morality and international laws against the aggressor, as well as against global arrogance."

According to the Washington Post, "Iran is preparing to attack Israel in the coming days." This was told to the American newspaper by a source close to the Israeli leadership and informed of the latest intelligence reports.
