Iran's supreme leader vows immediate response to any US or Israeli attack

latimes.com [$] —

Iran's supreme leader has threatened an immediate response to any potential attack from the U.S. or Israel, without geographic limits, according to state media. The threat comes amid ongoing hostilities that began with strikes on Feb. 28. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei made the comments while meeting with the military, calling for an updated list of potential U.S. and Israeli targets. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to resume strikes after recent elections in their countries. Khamenei became supreme leader after the first wave of strikes killed his father and other officials. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister said a proposal with mediators would shorten to two days the time needed to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, following a rejected earlier plan.
