Tehran did not seek conflict, according to President Masoud Pezeshkian, who also stated that Iran will “give an appropriate response” to the attack, which claimed the lives of at least four soldiers.
In response to Iranian attacks, including a volley of nearly 200 ballistic missiles launched at Israel on October 1, Israel said Saturday it struck military installations in several parts of Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, claimed on Sunday that Israel has damaged Iran’s missile and air defense installations. He said that Iran’s defense capabilities and missile production capabilities had been “severely damaged” by the strikes.
At a ceremony honoring the victims of the October 7 attacks last year, Netanyahu declared, “The attack was powerful, precise, and accomplished its objectives.”
This dictatorship has to grasp the basic idea that we hurt the person who hurts us.
Official Iranian outlets have downplayed the attack’s impact in public, claiming that the majority of the missiles were intercepted and that the ones that weren’t merely slightly damaged air defense systems.
