Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered immediate, unrestricted military responses to US and Israeli threats, urging increased arms production and intelligence. His directive follows intensified Saudi-Yemeni conflicts, with Iran-backed Houthis attacking Saudi oil regions. 

Diplomatic efforts, including Qatari mediation, seek to prevent escalation amid disputes over lifting US blockades and sanctions. Khamenei's absence from public life has sparked rumors of injury during US strikes that killed his father and prompted his secret appointment as Supreme Leader by Iran's Assembly of Experts.
