Iranian Military Warns U.S. and Israel Against "Miscalculation" Ahead of Former Supreme Leader's Funeral

The Iranian military has issued a stern warning to the United States and Israel, urging them not to attack the country ahead of the funeral for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an airstrike on the day the war began.
According to Iranian state media on July 2 (local time), Commander Ali Abdollahi of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which oversees the Iranian armed forces, stated, "We warn the enemies of Iran, especially the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel), to avoid any miscalculation."
He added, "They must clearly recognize the harsh retaliation our military will inflict in response to any threats or aggression against our country."
The funeral for former Supreme Leader Khamenei, who died in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike on February 28—the day the war in Iran began—is scheduled to commence in the capital, Tehran, on July 4, and will conclude with a burial ceremony in his hometown of Mashhad on July 9.
During this period, memorial services will also be held in the holy city of Qom in Iran and in Iraq.
