‘Do Not Clash with Iran’, President Warns After Massive Missile Strike on Israel
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran has exercised its legitimate rights to carry out the Tuesday evening’s retaliatory missile attack against the Israeli targets with the purpose of ensuring regional security, cautioning the enemy to avoid a clash with Iran.
In a post on his X account on Tuesday night, President Pezeshkian said “a decisive response” has been given to the Zionist regime’s acts of aggression in accordance with Iran’s legitimate rights and with the purpose of ensuring peace and security for Iran and the region.
“This measure was meant to defend the Iranian interests and individuals,” the president stressed.
He said Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu should bear in mind that Iran is not belligerent, but it would stand firmly against any threat.
“This was only a section of our capabilities. Do not start a clash with Iran,” Pezeshkian warned Israel.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps carried out a missile strike against the Israeli regime on Tuesday evening in response to the Israeli assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan.
The IRGC has also warned the Zionist regime that if it intends to react militarily to Iran’s operation which conforms with Tehran’s legitimate rights and the international law, it will have to face subsequent “crushing and devastating strikes”.
