NY Times: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei Orders Iran to Prepare for Another Attack on Israel
Background
According to a report by the New York Times, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered the country's military to prepare for another attack on Israel. This follows a series of recent attacks by Iran and its proxies on Israeli targets in the region.
The Times report, citing unnamed U.S. officials, says that Khamenei issued the order to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in early January. The order is said to call for the IRGC to prepare for a “major military operation” against Israel within the next six months.
Response from Israel
Israeli officials have reacted to the report with a mixture of caution and defiance. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is “prepared for any eventuality” and that the country will “defend itself against any aggression.” Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that Israel will “not hesitate to act” if it is attacked by Iran.
Reaction from the United States
The United States has also expressed concern about the report. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said that the U.S. is “monitoring the situation closely” and that it is “committed to Israel's security.” The U.S. has also called on Iran to “refrain from any actions that could further escalate tensions in the region.”
Analysis
The report of Khamenei's order to prepare for another attack on Israel is a significant development. It suggests that Iran is becoming increasingly aggressive in its stance toward Israel and that it may be planning a major attack in the near future.
The fact that the order was issued by Khamenei himself, who is the supreme leader of Iran, suggests that it is a serious matter and that the Iranian regime is fully behind it.
The report is also a reminder of the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. The two countries have been locked in a state of conflict for decades, and there have been several wars and military clashes between them.
The report of Khamenei's order is likely to further escalate tensions between Iran and Israel and could lead to a new conflict between the two countries.
