Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his advisers, including Kamal Kharrazi, have issued strong warnings towards Israel and the U.S., threatening a 'crushing response' to recent Israeli attacks on Iranian military sites. Kharrazi hinted that Iran could alter its nuclear doctrine if faced with existential threats, despite a religious fatwa prohibiting nuclear weapons development. Amid escalating tensions, Iran is preparing a retaliatory strike against Israel potentially from Iraqi territory, leveraging pro-Iranian militias to evade direct confrontation. The U.S. has expressed concern over Iran's nuclear activities, stressing its commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is focused on maintaining military operations against Hezbollah and Iran, while also navigating regional instability ahead of the U.S. presidential elections. Both nations remain on high alert, with a potential Iranian counterattack anticipated before November 5.
