“The possibility of war in the region is always serious, and no one other than the Zionist regime wants that to happen. We want to reduce tensions, but... we are ready for any scenario,” he said.
Iran backs the groups Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, whose top leaders have been killed by Israel in the widening Middle East crisis.
Iran also backs the Houthis in Yemen and Shia militias in Iraq, as well as Syria’s armed forces. Tehran collectively calls these proxies and militias an “axis of resistance” against Israel.
On October 1, Iran launched a barrage of around 200 missiles in retaliation for the September 27 killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut and the July 31 killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Israel, which has vowed to strike back at Iran for that barrage, on Wednesday killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the October 7, 2023, attacks that triggered the current conflict.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned they would hit Israel “painfully” if it attacks Iranian targets.
