Tasnim News Agency quoted Salami as saying: Israel “It failed to achieve its abhorrent goals” through its air strikes on Saturday.
For his part, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said, “Diplomacy and the field complement each other for Iran.”
He added: “Tehran “We will use all available tools to respond to Israel’s attack.”
Israel struck military sites in Iran in response to a massive Iranian missile attack on its territory on October 1, after the killing of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut along with an official in the Revolutionary Guards in an Israeli raid, and the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in an operation attributed to Israel.
Iranian media downplayed the importance of the Israeli strike, citing analysts who pointed out that… Iran Reservations about further escalation.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the Israeli strikes in which four Iranian soldiers were killed should neither be “exaggerated nor minimized,” also considering it a “misjudgment” on Israel’s part.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed, “We do not seek war, but we will defend the rights of our nation and our country.”
Sunday also confirmed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that Iran has the “right to respond,” stressing that Tehran “received signals” hours before the Israeli strike.
