spoke with students ahead of the anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the US embassy in Tehran.
''The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a tooth-breaking response to what they are doing to Iran and the land of the Medes and the Persians and to the resistance front,'' Khamenei, 85, said in a video released by the state media, referring to Tehran-backed terror group like Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...and Hezbollah.
The comments came a day after a top adviser issued a warning about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Adviser Kamal Kharrazi said Friday the country could alter its policies on using nuclear weapons if the threat seems big enough.
''If an existential threat arises, Iran will modify its nuclear doctrine, we have the capability to build weapons and have no issue in this regard,'' Kharrazi told Lebanese media, Fox News reported.
A day earlier, Khamenei reportedly instructed his forces to prepare a direct attack against Israel.
