The Iranian Foreign Ministry celebrated the country's assault against Israel on Sunday, hailing the operation as 'powerful' and 'victorious.' Iran launched around 300 drones and missiles from its own territory towards Israel, with the majority being intercepted by Israeli air defenses.
President Ibrahim Raisi shared a message following the operation, stating that Iran's armed forces had taught a lesson to the 'Zionist enemy.' Raisi warned that any further aggression would be met with a stronger and regrettable response.
Israel and its allies claimed to have intercepted 99% of the drones and missiles launched by Iran during the attack. In response, the Israeli military launched fighter jets to strike multiple Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including a significant weapons manufacturing site.
Despite the provocation, Israel has not yet announced a large-scale retaliation for Iran's assault. The decision on how to respond could potentially escalate tensions in the region and lead to a broader conflict.
