“This action was in defense of the interests and citizens of Iran. To let (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu know that Iran is not belligerent, but it stands firmly against any threat,” he wrote. “Do not enter into a conflict with Iran.”
In a message shared on X, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a warning in Hebrew that the “blows” against Israel would grow “stronger and more painful.”
“With God’s help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime,” he said.
The barrage follows Israel’s ground operation across its northern border into Lebanon, aimed at the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Last Friday, Israel’s airstrike killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and severely weakened the leadership of this powerful paramilitary force in the Middle East, escalating concerns of a potential new regional war.
