Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on November 2 that Israel and the United States will face “a crushing response” over attacks on the Islamic Republic and its allies.
“The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran and the Iranian nation and to the resistance front,” Khamenei said in a video released by Iranian state media.
The remarks came amid reports of ongoing preparations by Iran and its allies to respond to the October 26 Israeli attack. Several Iranian military targets, including air defenses and missile sites, were hit during the attack, which also claimed the lives of four officers.
The attack was in itself a response to a large-scale ballistic missile strike launched by Tehran that targeted Israel on October 1.
On October 31, the U.S.-based Axios news site reported, citing two Israeli sources, that Israeli intelligence was preparing for an attack in the coming days involving a large number of ballistic missiles and suicide drones launched by Iran allies in Iraq.
Israel’s Kan also reported on November 1, citing Israeli officials, that Tehan will attack, whether directly or through its allies in Iraq and Yemen.
Following Khamenei’s remarks, Axios reported that the U.S. had warned Iran against launching any new attacks against Israel.
“We told the Iranians: We won’t be able to hold Israel back, and we won’t be able to make sure that the next attack will be calibrated and targeted as the previous one,” a U.S. official told the news site.
The report quoted the official as saying the message had been conveyed directly to the Iranians, though the Israeli source said a message was passed to Tehran via Swiss intermediaries.
The U.S. has already taken multiple steps to improve the defenses of Israel. Last month, the Pentagon deployed a THAAD missile defense system in the country and earlier this week it announced the deployment of additional missile defense destroyers, fighter squadrons, tanker aircraft, and several B-52 long-range strike bombers to the Middle East.

boom boom boom boom.
iranians (and north koreans too) are weirdos. it’s the same as when an ant decided to attack elephants. it will end up like in gaza, shooting fish in a barrel. i think they didn’t understand the message that israel will use the f35 to attack anything in iran at will and russia will allow it to be done over syrian airspace because putin is a fcking coward and has his infamous “deals” with the cabal.
and if you dont understand, it is about payload which can be delivered. iranian missiles with their ridiculous 30kg warheads can damage single airplane in precision strike. you cannot win a war with 30kg warheads. but israel in gaza use 2tons bombs and they have bunker busters as well. each of their 1000+ military airplanes will participate and make couple of sorties per day. 70.000 tons of bombs were dropped on gaza. in iran it will be much more.
iran is 2.5 times the size of ukraine. israel cannot win a war with iran. on the other hand, israel is very small and can be crippled quite fast. snowden dreams of destructions and large bombs but refuse to realize that israel is stuck in wars far more than a year now and has not reached any of its objectives. all of its strategies are ineffective.
size of sh*thole country doesn’t matter. it will take 1 year or two years to destroy iran completely but the key infrastructure like power plants, oil refineries , ports and factories will be destroyed in less then 24 hours. stupidos muslimos cant predict even such simple things.
you are proven several times already that you are a moron and you prove it once again. russia is bombing ukraine for two years now and still the country is standing. and russia is next to ukraine, not 1000 km away. dream on, hate boy. without a ground operation, israel cannot achieve anything, and it has not that capability. and the us had it but no more.
you are really special arent ya
” each of their 1000+ military airplanes” israel has 251 combat aircraft, so you per usual are talking out of your ass.
iran have tens of thousands of cruise missiles, they make em like cigars
the two thaad systems america sent can ony hold 8 missiles each at a cost of 12.5m per missile
if iran launch 100 cruise missiles and the thaad works perfectly, they can only take down 16. that means 84 missiles will get through
nobody is scared of israel anymore
iron dome is out of ammo
lol, your brain is on a very small hamster wheel… pity…
son, midrange, or lower range of iranian bm are equiped with 750kg warheads.
lol the f35 is dogshit iran have are expected to launch tomorrow over 24 hrs of constant cruise missile bombardment expected
enjoy
you do a lot of stupid projection stuff… might wanna see a real therapist about that…
popcorn… and boom boom boom boom… bring it… will it be election day, plot night, or sooner???
attenzione la botta deve essere forte deve piegare l’avversario metterlo in condizione di non combattere più, finire la guerra ai civili altrimenti saranno guai seri. saluti
secondo quanto realisticamente scrivono gli amici di cui sopra . . sembra sfugga che e che non faranno solo gli spettatori.
( chiarisco a chi mi legge ) che la risposta in sé non dice niente . . evidentemente ha dato fastidio a qualcuno che smista i n/s commenti e scrive lui x noi.
should be a definitive strike eliminating the jews once and for all – no needs for jews in this world! just say one thing where jews have been beneficial to mankind – nothing! just double passports, scheeming, embezzlement, frauds, theft and so on! what to like what todo – eliminate!
idiots. iran have not a capacity to fly a presidental helicopter without crashing it but they “have” capacity to destroy israel in a single strike. just another example of muslim “logic”. but remeber. when israel drop 500.000 tons of bombs on iran and russia will “condemn” it in the un and otherwise make shit, don’t try to flee in europe. we are fed up with muslim garbage. you will be hunted and killed one by one.
you mean 12 billions tons of bombs. of course, they are yet to achieve any objective.
muslim idiots fail to understand that sodomy is ingrained in the culture of the west, and if they don’t like it they can go back to where they came from. man-on-man buttsex is a basic human right, but those animals know nothing of human rights.
“buttsex” that is a term often used by jens holm the forums danish jewish troll who’s gone missing, are you jens holm?
of course he is, that fool hss been on here for years
muslims aren’t petfect, but at least they try to be better people each day… and they are capable of love, something a jew has no capacity for…
” we are fed up with muslim garbage. you will be hunted and killed one by one. ”
ok, what will you do about the ” chosen ” ?
shhhhiiiitttt… even 12 year olds make more compelling arguements than you….
12 year olds… you’re very kind with him.
they won’t be able to hold them back…lol. they didn’t have to last time, they were to busy retreating. you know, turn tail and hit afterburners? “we were painted by unknown radar, we weren’t invisible, we didn’t have complete control of anything, including our bowels, we had to run.” yes, if success isn’t guaranteed before hand they run back to their bunkers. u.s. trying to intimidate iran with b-52s.
everyone knows b-52s are for defense only. sure, just as iran’s hypersonic missiles are. israel sent a ship down the suez, hopefully to attack yemen. yemen should make sure it doesn’t return home as well. they think chutzpah is a weapon, especially in the media, but israel’s last gasp approaches nonetheless. they will bluster and threaten, but inside they quiver like the cowards they are.
klap klap klap
a questo punto mi sembra che il messaggio yankee sia diretto soprattutto all’alleato dell’iran, cui è un’ottima occasione per l’uno e per l’altro per chiarirsi a colpi di missili e/o portaerei. nell’occasione si constaterà quanto adulta militarmente sarà la russia nei confronti di chi ha giurato di distruggerla.
