Iran’s supreme leader warns of 'geographically unrestricted response' if US attacks again

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a warning to the world that “any level or type of threat must be met with an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response." It comes as urgent diplomatic efforts continue to avoid a new all-out Iran war, which would have devastating consequences for the Middle East and beyond. Khamenei met with Iran’s top military commanders on Saturday, presenting them with directives to prepare for potential new US-Israeli military action, according to the official IRNA news agency. It follows warnings from the US that its forces could conduct a short but intensive military campaign against Iran after the US midterm elections next week.
