The New York Times reported Wednesday that Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered Tehran to strike Israel directly after the assassination of Hamas’ top political leader Ismail Haniyeh. The airstrike came just hours after Israel targeted a top commander in Iran’s ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. In a statement on his official website, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said revenge was “our duty” and that Israel had “prepared a harsh punishment for itself” by killing “a dear guest in our home.”

National security analyst Hal Kempfer and the FDD's Hussain Abdul-Hussain join LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to examine the international implications.

  • If Israel did carry out the kill in Tehran, then, shouldn't the ayatollah be worried as he lay down to sleep?

    If other countries unleashed Israel and let them be a country, Iran would be dealt with without the US getting involved. This is just stupid

    If the Iranian leader is personally ordering a direct strike on Israel he needs to be careful. He may be putting himself in the line of fire in addition to making his country a target. Which would be OK considering active Iranian support of terrorism worldwide.
