Fadavi also stated that Tehran does not rule out the possibility of a preemptive strike by the U.S. and Israel aimed at preventing Iran from retaliating against Israel.
The threat comes at a time when Israel is facing multiple challenges, including the firing of its defense minister and the appointment of a new, inexperienced politician with no military or security background to replace him.
In addition to the military threats, Iran's judiciary announced on Wednesday that four individuals had been sentenced to death for spying for Israel. The charges stem from an investigation into alleged Israeli espionage activities within Iran.
Western officials have suggested that President Donald Trump, in his second term, could reimpose his "Maximum Pressure" campaign, which would involve stricter sanctions on Iran's oil industry and potentially encourage Israel to target Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinate key Iranian figures.
"The U.S. elections are not really our business. Our policies are steady and don’t change based on individuals," said Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani, speaking to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. "We made the necessary predictions before and there will not be change in people's livelihoods."
The re-imposition of U.S. sanctions in 2018 severely impacted Iran's oil exports and government revenues, forcing Tehran to make unpopular policy decisions like raising taxes and running large budget deficits, which have driven annual inflation close to 40%. The Iranian rial has plummeted in value against the dollar, recently reaching a historic low of 700,000 rials to the U.S. dollar on the free market, according to the Iranian currency tracking site Bonbast.com.
