Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei orders 'direct' attack on Israel: report
FoxNews ^ | July 31, 2024 | Andrea Vacchiano

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has commanded Iranian forces to launch a "direct" attack against Israel, according to a report Wednesday.

Three Iranian officials confirmed the situation to The New York Times. The news comes hours after Hamas’ leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran on Wednesday.

The White House has been unable to independently verify Haniyeh's death as of Wednesday afternoon, but Tehran is placing the blame on the Israel Defense Forces. Israel launched a strike on Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday, but has neither claimed responsibility nor denied killing Haniyeh.

"The criminal, terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our territory and has caused our grief, but it has also prepared the ground for a severe punishment," Khamenei's English-language X account said on Wednesday.

According to Amir Tsarfati's Telegram site,.......

"Official sources in Iran to the New York Times: Supreme Leader Khamenei ordered to attack Israel directly in response to the elimination of the Haniyeh.

It was also reported: Iran is now considering carrying out an attack similar to the one carried out in April - firing missiles and launching drones at the same time from its territory and the territory of other countries towards Israel. The possibility of carrying out attacks from all the countries hostile to Israel in the region (Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Iran) is also being considered."

I wonder if it will also be as spectaular a failure as April's attack was.

Several countries are ordering their citizens to leave the area, and some airlines are canceling flights to Israel.

I would not want to be in Tehran if any attacks strike home in Israel.

Israel has submarines carrying cruise missile that are capable of reaching Iran. I would not be surprised if they are in position now.

After what happened in Iran a day or so ago, neither would I.

The IDF knows haw to target someone.

I’m hoping all the regime hating Iranians are heading for safety.

Khamenei orders? Then what does the “president” actually do?

It better be. If there are major causalities in Israel, Khamenei now knows he himself can be hit anywhere, anytime in his own capital.

Do we know yet what path this missile took? Was it fired from inside Iran? If not, it had to travel a LONG way, and if from Israel, over Syria, Iraq and Iran - over 800 miles without being detected. Astonishing.

Just for curiosity sake, does anyone know what Israel used to take out their target, was it a drone or something.

Maybe it came from one of the submarines in the Red Sea. MBS hates the Iranians. So he won't care if a missile goes through the Saudi sky as long as somebody is giving him heads up.

This is what passes for a "direct attack" in most of the Middle East:

"I fart in your general direction..."

Ben Gurion Airport will likely be a prime target, and if I were Bibi, I’d avoid the PM mansion. Then there’s also the nuclear facilities in Dimona, and Jerusalem just for the symbolism.

Did he order it inside or did he go to the drive thru?

Let beat on the Ayatollah’s testicles with a big brass hammer
Until his rectum whistles “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Some 80s classics never get old.

Remember Israel has subs with cruise missiles...could have been launched from the Persian Gulf.

If Israel can take out that Hamas Terrorist IN IRAN, they can take out
any one of those evil Iran BasTurds. I’d be very careful if I were the Iran
Supreme Leader.

This does sound like Gog/Magog
