Iran’s Supreme Leader escalated his rhetoric, warning of a “crushing response” to the country’s enemies - including the US - following Israel’s missile strike on the country a week ago.
“Enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States, will undoubtedly receive a crushing response for their actions against Iran and the Resistance Front,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech in Tehran on Saturday, state television reported.
