Iran's supreme leader warns US, Israel against renewed attacks

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has cautioned the United States and Israel against engaging in further military action. Khamenei asserts that any renewed hostilities could escalate into a broader conflict, transcending geographical boundaries. This warning emerges as both nations express potential for resuming military operations, heightening apprehensions of a recurrence of hostilities.

President Donald Trump has suggested the prospect of new military action post the country's midterm elections early next week. Nevertheless, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Saturday that Washington is open to pursuing a diplomatic avenue for resolution. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu perceives the current circumstances as a "historic opportunity" to oust the Iranian government, following the nation's general election.

Israel's election was held on Tuesday, and the formation of a new government remains pending. Khamenei addressed senior military commanders, stating that any threat, irrespective of its magnitude or form, must be met with an immediate and potent response, without limitations based on geography. He further directed them to revise Iran's target list to incorporate all tangible and intangible assets of the American-Zionist adversary.

Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akaraminia cautioned on Saturday that a resumption of hostilities would expand the war's reach. He stated that the fire of war would certainly spread to a much wider geographical area. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in a post on X, warned that there would be no further "red lines" if fighting were to escalate.
