Khamenei Adviser Issues Sharp Threats After Beirut Strike
Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, said that after the strike in Beirut, “the order was given” and launchers are being prepared for action. His remarks were published yesterday, at 23:12, in a short item that framed them as a direct threat against Israel.
Velayati also warned that continued fighting in Lebanon could lead to pressure on strategic shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb, both key chokepoints for global trade. The comments linked the fighting in Lebanon to possible Iranian escalation beyond the immediate battlefield.
The article did not specify any operational details, but presented Velayati's statement as an explicit warning that Iran or its aligned forces may respond following the Beirut attack. No further response or official Israeli reaction was included.
