During an annual army parade in Tehran, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi issued a stern warning to Israel, stating that any attack, no matter how slight, would be met with fierce retaliation. The parade, typically held near Ruhollah Khomeini's mausoleum, was relocated to a military training center in northeast Tehran for reasons unspecified by state media.
Raisi described the recent attack on Israel as 'limited and punitive,' cautioning that a stronger operation would leave nothing untouched in Israel. He emphasized the readiness of Iran's armed forces to ensure security, peace, and sovereignty in the region.
Israel's Response Under Consideration
Meanwhile, Israel's war cabinet convened for the fifth time to deliberate on a response to Iran's actions but has yet to reach a decision. Speculation surrounds the nature and timing of Israel's potential military response, with the United States anticipating a limited scope of action.
Despite not receiving official communication from Israel regarding their plans, a senior administration official expressed confidence in Israel's measured approach. The ongoing deliberations between the two nations underscore the escalating tensions in the region.
