Gen. Pat Ryder said Friday that more destroyers, fighter squadrons, tankers and B-52 long-range bombers would be coming to the region to deter Iran and its militant allies. Early Sunday, the U.S. military\u2019s Central Command said B-52s from Minot Air Force Base\u2019s 5th Bomb Wing arrived in the Middle East, without elaborating. <\/p>\n<p>The 85-year-old Khamenei had struck a more cautious approach in earlier remarks, saying officials would weigh Iran\u2019s response and that Israel\u2019s attack \u201cshould not be exaggerated nor downplayed.\u201d Iran has launched two major direct attacks on Israel, in April and October.<\/p>\n<p>But efforts by Iran to downplay the Israeli attack faltered as satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press showed <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-israel-attack-satellite-photos-gaza-lebanon-wars-0c6ee6a8544268612cb7d49727d8449d\">damage to military bases near Tehran<\/a><\/span> linked to the country\u2019s ballistic missile program, as well as at <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-israel-attack-shahroud-guard-base-satellite-photos-b9cdb18b252d6dd9014dc4dcb3dd4b2f\">a Revolutionary Guard base used in satellite launches<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s allies, called the \u201cAxis of Resistance\u201d by Tehran, also have been severely hurt by ongoing Israeli attacks, particularly Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Iran long has used those groups as both an asymmetrical way to attack Israel and as a shield against a direct assault. Some analysts believe those groups want Iran to do more to back them militarily. <\/p>\n<p>Iran, however, has been dealing with its own problems at home, as its economy struggles under the weight of international sanctions and it <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-hijab-protests-mahsa-amini-anniversary-59641e9254eea45c069b54d590c7e818\">has faced years of widespread, multiple protests<\/a><\/span>. After Khamenei\u2019s speech, the Iranian rial fell to 691,500 against the dollar, near an all-time low. It had been 32,000 rials to the dollar when Tehran reached its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Mohammad Ali Naini, a spokesman for Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard which controls the ballistic missiles needed to target Israel, gave an interview published by the semiofficial Fars news agency just before Khamenei\u2019s remarks were released. In it, he warned Iran\u2019s response \u201cwill be wise, powerful and beyond the enemy\u2019s comprehension.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe leaders of the Zionist regime should look out from the windows of their bedrooms and protect their criminal pilots within their small territory,\u201d he warned. Israeli air force pilots appear to have used air-launched ballistic missiles in the Oct. 26 attack. <\/p>\n<p>Khamenei on Saturday met with university students to mark Students Day, which commemorates a Nov. 4, 1978, incident in which Iranian soldiers opened fire on students protesting the rule of the shah at Tehran University. The shooting killed and wounded several students and further escalated the tensions consuming Iran at the time that eventually led to the shah fleeing the country and the 1979 Islamic Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd offered a raucous welcome to Khamenei, chanting: \u201cThe blood in our veins is a gift to our leader!\u201d Some also made a hand gesture \u2014 similar to a \u201ctimeout\u201d signal \u2014 given by the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lebanon-israel-hezbollah-airstrikes-28-september-2024-c4751957433ff944c4eb06027885a973\">slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah<\/a><\/span> in 2020 in a speech in which he threatened that American troops who arrived in the Mideast standing up would \u201creturn in coffins\u201d horizontally.<\/p>\n<p>Iran will mark the 45th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis this Sunday, following the Persian calendar. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/10e62420e55c4eff9ddb96319f704fbc\">The Nov. 4, 1979, storming of the embassy by Islamist students<\/a><\/span> led to the 444-day crisis, which cemented the decades-long enmity between Tehran and Washington that persists today.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-khamenei-israel-hamas-lebanon-war-30385c3a17d1fca9415eb37db86dc9c5\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Iran\u2019s supreme leader on Saturday threatened Israel and the U.S. with \u201ca crushing response\u201d over attacks on Iran and its allies.
