Iran warns US, Israel against new attacks after Trump, Netanyahu threats
TEHERAN: Iran’s supreme leader warned the United States and Israel Saturday of fresh attacks following their threats to resume strikes after crucial elections, as fears increased over a return to fighting.
Iran's supreme leader has issued a stern warning to the United States and Israel regarding potential new attacks in the aftermath of threats made during their respective elections. President Donald Trump has suggested the possibility of fresh military action following the U.S. midterm elections, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed a desire to topple the Iranian government.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has ordered military commanders to update their target list to include both tangible and intangible assets belonging to the American-Zionist enemy, and has threatened to sever undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz. The elections in both countries could significantly influence the course of the conflict, with Israel recently voting but yet to form a new government.
Iran has previously threatened to sever undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz, and tensions have caused a spike in global energy prices. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to prevent a resumption of fighting, with Qatari mediators in Iran and a letter from U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to Iran's security chief.
