Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Saturday that “any level or type of threat must be met with an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response.”

Khamenei made the remark on X after meeting with senior commanders of the Iranian military.

“Should Iran’s enemies resume military or terrorist attacks, it will be the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation that will determine when and under what conditions those attacks will end,” he wrote.

“The military target database must be updated comprehensively to ensure that all kinds of physical and non-physical assets” of the U.S. and Israel “are brought within the reach of the Armed Forces,” Khamenei also said.
