- Khamenei warned the United States and Israel against new attacks, the caution directed at both Washington and Jerusalem.
- Iran's supreme leader ordered a "maximum" response to any U.S. attack and said that response would have no "geographic limits."
- CBS News tracked the warning as a live-updated story, with Axios and France 24 also leading on Khamenei's threat.
Why it matters: For Washington and Jerusalem, the operative point is that Khamenei has pre-committed in public: a U.S. attack would draw Iran's "maximum" answer, with no "geographic limits." The stated second-order consequence is that any new strike would not remain a bounded exchange confined to Iran.
