US violated rules of combat by attacking a General of a nation not at war as he disembarked by plane. That is against not only EO Order by President Ronald Reagan prohibiting assassinations of state actors, but also violates international law. The ultimate cowardly act that would make even the Israeli’s laugh.
You don’t think Iran could easily take out a high ranking US general that passes through the green zone during peacetime? Any country can, they don’t because it’s cowardly.
So if you read the full statement, he (Iran supreme leader) is saying you can’t do anything to Iran (the nation) and he said that if you actually used your brain you would realize the reason the embassy was attacked was because nations hate you for your actions not because “iran ordered it”. He reiterated saying If Iran wanted to strike you, they would do it directly.
Iran has become the ultimate boogeyman and excuse to hide US embarrassment worldwide.
