As Israel’s air bombardment of Iran continues for a sixth day, we ask an Israeli minister and a defence official from Mr Trump’s first administration whether Israel can achieve its war aims without America’s help.Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has warned that any US military intervention in his country will “cause irreparable damage for them”.

What is your take on Ali Khamenei statements ?
