Iran’s supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called Israel a ‘dog on a rope’ by the US. He made the remarks in a speech on Wednesday (July 16). Declaring Iran ready to face any new attack, Khamenei said that Tehran has more capabilities than the response it gave in the 12-day conflict with Israel. Iran is never weak in front of the enemy. Because Tehran has all the necessary capabilities, including military. He said that we are ready to face the United States and its chained dog, the Jewish empire. A nation, a country and a military force have this confidence. And that is the most important thing. He also commented that the Jewish state is a cancer and America is its accomplice in crime. Khamenei said that we did not welcome war and do not want conflict. However, if the enemy attacks, the response will be devastating. Let everyone be aware of that. He also praised Iran’s missile attack on the US base in Qatar. He said that the operation in a sensitive American location is just an example of Tehran’s capabilities. Meanwhile, since taking office for his second term as US president, Donald Trump has been pressuring Iran for a nuclear deal. However, he said that if the conditions are not met, there is no deal. Tehran is in a stubborn position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
