DUBAI, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Tehran was not involved in the militant Hamas group's weekend attack on Israel, Iran's top authority Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday, but hailed what he called Israel's "irreparable" military and intelligence defeat.
"We kiss the hands of those who planned the attack on the Zionist regime," said Khamenei, who was wearing a Palestinian scarf, in his first televised speech since the attack.
"This destructive earthquake (Hamas' attack) has destroyed some critical structures (in Israel) which will not be repaired easily ... The Zionist regime's own actions are to blame for this disaster," said Khamenei.

Statements from Iran look pretty boilerplate to me, i.e. what you'd expect.
Question is, is Iran really scared, like they weren't expecting such an Israeli response, or is it just an information operation, paint Iran as scared, when they are not, in fact they are full throttle?
Who's really scared is the question, I guess.
My best guess is that everybody is getting ready for "long war."
Iran’s proxies in Syria are dead meat waiting to be cooked.
This war is going to go full blown chaotic soon I think.
If Israel doesn’t react in that fashion, they will be sitting ducks.
Liars Lie.
BS
“Long war,” is where you suffer from reduced standard of living and sacrifice for the state’s efforts overseas.
It’s the freedom democracy struggle. You have to struggle for the freedom democracy.
It’s like painting sh*t and spraying some perfume on it.
They’re certainly not scared of the USA with Biden in the White House.
Only Israel scares them.
Khamenei wants a nuclear weapon. I suggest Israel give him two armed and dropped, one on his biggest nuclear weapons development site and the other on the IRGC’s headquarters. After doing so, I recommend Israel ask the other Arab terrorist nations, “Okay, which of you wants to be next? Find all the terrorists inside your borders before we do because, if you will not deal with those terrorists, we will.
“Liars Lie.”
*****
Yeah, the narrative is interesting, though. If they go to the trouble of pushing a narrative, makes you wonder.
They had this “other side scared” going on yesterday, too, with Hamas open to negotiations. Just more boilerplate speech. Will need to see Iran say stand down for it to be legit.
It’s nuke time in Tehran if we lived in a sane world!
Oh, well, we can definitely believe Iran.
Isn’t this guy one of those that shouted death to America death Israel?
“We kiss the hands of those who planned the attack on the Zionist regime,” said Khamenei, who was wearing a Palestinian scarf, in his first televised speech since the attack.

Surround Gaza and cut it off.
Leave one exit open.
When they come out, put them on a ship and send them to Iran.
Lots of land there.
Lots of friendly Moslems.
Lots of American money provided by the traitor Democrats.
Out of one side of his mouth, he says they didn’t plan it, but out of the other side of his mouth, he tells Iranians this is the begining of the Great Liberation operation Tehran has been planning for decades.
Have they ever not lied?
I didn’t think so
Whether Iran is really scared or not probably depends on whether they have managed to cobble together a functioning nuclear weapon or not yet.
Scared of their best-buddy Biden?? Har-de-har-har!!
