The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, says no country can afford to launch a military attack on the country,
Iran's state-run media outlet Press TV reports.
In a meeting with senior Iranian officials on Monday, Khamenei said that Israel's military threats against Iran are constantly repeated but the United States prevents Tel Aviv from launching a strike.
“The reason for the US’ prevention [of an Israeli attack against Iran] is that it does not see an attack as affordable and we also strongly emphasize that a military attack on the Islamic Republic is not affordable for any one,” the Iranian leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that arrogant powers have no more options against Iran except for military threats and sanctions. “The enemy’s hand is empty in both spheres of sanctions and threats,” he said.
