Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has reached a consensus to authorize a military response against Israel, as stated by Esmail Kowsari, a senior general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and member of the Iranian Parliament. This decision follows recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites. Kowsari indicated that the military strike would be executed with the support of resistance groups, despite some government-aligned factions advising against retaliation. While the SNSC has agreed on the military action, details regarding the timing and method of the response remain unspecified.
