Iranian supreme leader vows ‘unrestricted response’ to any US or Israeli strikes

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Saturday escalated his rhetoric against the United States after President Donald Trump teased a renewal of Washington’s war against Tehran following the midterm elections.

Khamenei said Iran’s military target list would be “updated comprehensively” to include “all physical and non-physical assets of the US-Zionist enemy are brought within the reach” of Iran. He expressed hope that a “political and security order in West Asia” is arising from the conflict, writing that the “new order will increasingly lay the groundwork for unity among Muslim nations and governments and the formation of the New Islamic Civilization,” in a statement to X.
