🔶 Message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei: If the U.S. attack is repeated, Iran’s reaction will be broader

On the website of Iran’s Supreme Leader, a message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei was published on the occasion of November 13, “National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance,” in which it warns about Iran expanding its reaction if the United States carries out another attack.

Mojtaba Khamenei described Iran’s management of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on U.S. military bases in countries in the region as Iran’s “initial response” to the U.S. attack during the 40-day war, and said that if attacks are repeated, this response would have “much broader dimensions.”

He also called the hope of changing the United States’ behavior through political moves or concessions to Washington “a false imagination,” and said that the continuation of the strategy of “the stronger Iran” is the only way to achieve absolute deterrence.
