The Supreme Leader seems determined to challenge not only Israel, but also the United States.
Is Iran going to strike hard at Israel, or not? At this point, it’s anybody’s guess.
Ever since Hamas top dog Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in a high-security Tehran guesthouse for visiting foreign dignitaries on July 31, the world has been holding its breath waiting for a massive blow against Israel from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Just hours after Haniyeh was killed, Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, ordered what the New York Postcalled “a direct strike” on Israel. It looked as if he was readying Iran for a much, much larger war: Khamenei also ordered Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commanders, along with Iran’s army, to “get ready an attack and defensive plans in case the conflict widens with either strikes from Israel or the United States hitting the country.”
Then on Aug. 2, Khamenei pinnedan X post dating ominously from Oct. 3, 2023, four days before Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 Israelis, to the top of his Persian-language X account. It read: “The Zionist regime is about to go.” Yet nothing happened. On Aug. 2, Iranian state TV announced that “in the coming hours, the world will witness extraordinary scenes and very important developments.” Again, nothing happened.
The Biden regime began to take credit for forcing Iran to stand down amid allegations that it gave Iran the names of the Mossad agents who took out Haniyeh as a gesture of goodwill in order to try to de-escalate the conflict. Even if that claim is accurate, however, Khamenei hasn’t given up on his hope of delivering a major blow to the Jewish state. He is now even claiming that Allah will be angry if Iran doesn’t hit Israel.
Iran International reported Wednesday that Khamenei had condemned “enemy psychological warfare” aimed at forcing the country to reconsider retaliation against Israel in the wake of the killing of the Hamas political leader in Tehran.” Khamenei emphasized that “any non-tactical retreat—be it military, political, or economic—invites ‘divine wrath,’ as per the Holy Quran.”
