Iran's Khamenei warns of 'crushing' response to Israeli strikes
Briefly

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that Israel's recent attacks will elicit a 'crushing response' from Iran, emphasizing the involvement of allied groups fighting on behalf of Iran.
Khamenei's address indicated that while Iran may not directly retaliate, forces allied with Iran will respond, thus showcasing Tehran's strategy of leveraging proxy militias against its adversaries.
Militia leaders expressed their readiness to coordinate with Iran for retaliatory strikes, with Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba stating they are fully aligned to ensure a successful response.
The potential escalation of conflict poses significant challenges for the Biden administration, as ongoing military presence in Iraq could lead to the U.S. being drawn into hostilities.
