Tehran. Iran‘s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised this Saturday to take “harsh” retaliation against any attack by Israel and the United States, while pro-Iranian groups in Iraq fired drones into Israeli territory, which were intercepted.
The Israeli army continues in parallel its war against the Islamist movement Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both movements are supported by Iran, which has also engaged in a cycle of attacks with Israel in recent months, raising fears of a conflagration in the Middle East.
Three days before the presidential elections in the United States and despite international pressure, efforts to end hostilities have not borne fruit.
Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas and launched an offensive in the Gaza Strip following the Palestinian group’s attack on its territory on October 7, 2023. It also wants to neutralize Hezbollah after the Shiite movement opened a front in support of Hamas.
In this tense context, the United States announced on Friday that it will carry out new military deployments in the Middle East in the coming days, including means of defense against ballistic missiles, fighter planes, B-52 bombers, which will arrive “in the coming months” to ” the defense of Israel” and as a warning to Iran.
“The United States, like the Zionist regime (Israel), has to know that they will undoubtedly receive a harsh response for what they are doing against Iran, the Iranian nation and the resistance front,” Ali Khamenei declared this Saturday.
