Iran Signals 'Pre-Emptive' Action After Sen. Graham & Israel Threaten Khamenei's Life

Iran issued a stark warning in response to escalating threats from the US and Israel. The Iranian military stated Iran might launch a preemptive strike against Israel. This warning followed aggressive rhetoric from US Senator Lindsey Graham, who threatened Iran's leaders. Graham suggested Trump would assassinate Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei if protests continued to be suppressed. Iran's Supreme National Defense Council also hinted at preemptive action due to the rising threats. These warnings coincided with ongoing protests in Iran sparked by economic hardship. The protests have become violent, with both counter-protests and attacks on security forces occurring. Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran, while Israel's Mossad has openly supported the protesters. Netanyahu discussed potential attacks on Iran with Trump, who said he'd potentially support them. Iran has rejected new nuclear talks until demands on its missile program and enrichment are dropped. Recent reports indicate Iran is enhancing its ballistic missile capabilities.
