Khamenei Responds to U.S. Joining Iran-Israel Conflict - U.S. Bombs Iran - U.S.-Israel-Iran - U.S. vs. Iran

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has responded to the U.S. bombing of Iran’s key nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — with a chilling warning.

Just hours after B-2 bombers struck Iranian facilities, Khamenei declared that "America will be held accountable" and accused both the U.S. and Israel of launching a war against Iran. His statement signals a dangerous escalation and a possible broader conflict in the region.

In this video, we break down:

What exactly Khamenei said in his speech

How Iran is framing this strike as a declaration of war

What retaliation could look like — militarily and diplomatically

The role of the IRGC and Iran’s proxies in the region

Reactions from global powers: Russia, China, UN

lets say .. a terrorist attack like 9/11

I doubt NATO and the world will react like they did to 9/11. Trump threw the first punch.

Iran's allies might react like NATO did after 9/11.

It is hard to conceive that Trump & his admin have thought this through.

1/3 of the FBI is helping ICE so America is more vulnerable

Scary situation.
