Supreme leader hints at Iran's response after mysterious night strikes
Iranian leadership addresses recent military strikes by Israel while keeping response options open. Top officials discuss measured approach after attacks on facilities near Tehran
Two nights ago Israeli military jets launched night-time operations targeting facilities near Tehran (which included missile-production sites and other military-linked locations)
The evil committed by the Zionist regime two nights ago should neither be downplayed nor exaggerated
Khamenei made it clear that Iran needs to show its strength to Israel; however he left the specific decision-making to government officials who should “choose whats best for the country and its people“
The Israeli operation included three separate attack waves with multiple jets targeting spots in western Iran and near the capital. Despite the scale of operations Iranʼs initial statement on saturday down-played the attacks impact saying damage was minimal
U.S President Joe Biden stepped-in asking both sides to avoid further actions that might lead to a bigger middle-east conflict. The targets of Israeli strikes included:
* Missile production facilities
* Military infrastructure
* Strategic sites near Tehran
* Locations in western Iran
The timing of these developments puts extra pressure on regional stability - with Khamenei giving officials the go-ahead to plan an appropriate response thats in-line with national interests
