Iran's military has issued a statement on Saturday night suggesting that a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is preferable to any retaliation against Israel. This comes after more than 100 Israeli fighter jets and unmanned drones struck Iranian military targets in response to Iran's previous actions. The statement from Iran's General Staff marks a significant shift in Iran's stance, emphasizing the importance of a cease-fire over direct confrontation. This development follows Israel's first ever open attack on Iranian soil.
