Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has issued a stern warning against any potential aggression towards Iran, stating that any such actions will be met with a stronger and regrettable response. This statement was conveyed through Iran's state news channel IRIB.
Furthermore, Iran's foreign minister emphasized the country's stance on defensive operations, asserting that while Iran does not seek conflict, it will not hesitate to defend its legitimate interests if provoked.
The foreign minister highlighted that Iran views the exercise of legitimate defense as a demonstration of its commitment to regional and international peace and security.
These statements come in the wake of an overnight strike launched by Iran on Israel, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations.
The leader of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned of a 'new equation' following the attack on Israel, indicating that Iran will directly retaliate against any aggression targeting its interests, assets, or people.
In a separate development, Iran's Chief of Staff, Sardar Bagheri, issued threats against the US and Israel, cautioning them against future attacks. Bagheri conveyed a message to the US through the Swiss embassy, warning that any cooperation between the US and Israel in potential actions would jeopardize the security of US bases, which would face consequences.
