Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has threatened Israel and the United States with a 'crushing response' over recent attacks on Iran and its allies. Speaking at a Student's Day event on Saturday, Khamenei warned that enemies, including America and Israel, would 'certainly receive a harsh response' for their actions against Iran and the 'Resistance Front,' a term used by Tehran to describe its network of allied groups in the region. The remarks follow Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military sites on October 26, which reportedly killed at least five people.
