Iran's Supreme Leader Orders Unrestricted Response to Any US or Israeli Attack

rawstory.com —

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered military commanders to respond to any renewed U.S. or Israeli attack "without geographical limitations" to achieve maximum deterrence, according to a statement reported by Axios. Khamenei met with Iran's top three commanders, who briefed him on readiness near the Strait of Hormuz and reported a "several-fold increase" in ammunition production. He also ordered an updated "target bank" covering American and Israeli assets. The warning follows expectations that President Donald Trump may resume strikes on Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections. The Pentagon currently has two aircraft carrier strike groups in the region, with a third en route.
