Iran Warns of 'Crushing Response' if Israel Retaliates to Ballistic Missile Attack

Oct 1, 2024, 05:20 PM

Iran's Revolutionary Guards and its UN mission have issued stern warnings to Israel, stating that any retaliation for the recent Iranian ballistic missile attack will be met with a 'crushing response.' The attack, described by Iran as a 'legal, rational, and legitimate response' to what it calls 'terrorist acts' by the Zionist regime, follows a period of restraint after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Iran has emphasized its right to self-defense and warned that further acts of aggression by Israel, including targeting Iranian nationals, will result in severe consequences.
