Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has responded with strong words after strikes on Iranian military sites that have been attributed to Israel and the US. Most recently, he promised a ‘teeth-breaking’ retaliation on his website, showing a significant escalation in his rhetoric.
It is important to note that tensions have been increasing between Iran on one side, and the US and Israel on the other, over several issues involving nuclear weapons, regional conflicts, and economic sanctions. However, this pledge of a fierce response signals a potential further escalation in the ongoing conflict.
It’s crucial for international diplomatic efforts to step in and mediate in the situation to avoid an all-out confrontation, which might have significant consequences on regional stability and international peace.
