Today, Monday, Iran renewed its emphasis on using all available capabilities to respond to the missile attack launched by Israel on October 26.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said today that Tehran will use all available tools to respond to the attack launched by Israel last Saturday, according to what was reported by Reuters.
Yesterday, Sunday, Iran informed the United Nations that it reserves the right to respond to “Israeli criminal aggression,” in light of continued Iranian assurances in this regard.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry explained that Minister Abbas Araqchi reported this to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and in a letter addressed to him, he called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council.
Earlier, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said, “We will respond appropriately to the Zionist entity’s attack on our lands,” in light of American warnings to Iran against “the mistake of responding and taking any retaliatory step.”
For his part, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said, “The Zionist regime’s attack on our country has turned into another defeat for this entity,” stressing that the response to it “will be inevitable, as our country considers itself to have the right to self-defense in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.”
At dawn last Saturday, the Israeli army announced the launch of an attack with warplanes on Iran, which in turn said that it “successfully confronted the attempts of the Zionist entity to attack some points in Tehran and the country.” The attack resulted in the deaths of 4 soldiers and one civilian, according to official statements.
This came after Iran anticipated the Israeli attack, following its launch of an attack on Israel more than two weeks ago, in response to the assassination of the former head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran late last July, and Tel Aviv’s announcement of its assassination of the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, in The southern suburb of Beirut late last September.
