Iran and IRGC Warn of Crushing Response if Israel Retaliates to Aerial Attack

Oct 1, 2024, 05:18 PM

Iran's mission to the United Nations has described its recent aerial attack on Israel as a 'legal, rational, and legitimate response' to what it calls 'terrorist acts of the Zionist regime.' The mission warned that if Israel retaliates or commits further acts of malevolence, Iran will respond with a 'crushing response.' This statement follows shortly after Iran launched its attack, which it claims is a justified reaction to Israeli actions. Additionally, Iran's IRGC has warned of more severe retaliation if Israel responds.
