Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme political and spiritual leader, threatened Israel and the United States with a “strong response” to attacks by the Israeli military and its allies, the AP reported Saturday. Khamenei did not specify the time of the attack and its scope.
In a video published by Iranian state media, Khamenei said: The enemies, whether they are the Zionist regime or the United States, will definitely take a harsh response to those things that oppose Iran and the Iranian people and the front.
Axios reported on Thursday, citing Israeli sources, that according to Israel's intelligence services, Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraq in the coming days, possibly before the US presidential election.

According to Axios, the attack could be launched from Iraq using large numbers of drones and ballistic missiles.
Retaliatory raids
Last week, Israel carried out airstrikes on targets in Iran, in response to Tehran's missile launch four weeks ago. In the course of this attack, the Israeli Air Force was supposed to destroy most of Iran's air defense equipment, including many radar stations, which were designed to prevent another Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel.
