Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that Tehran “will use all available tools” to respond to Israel’s recent airstrikes against Iranian military targets.
The attacks, which took place before dawn last Saturday, were downplayed by Iran, which claimed they caused only limited damage.
During a weekly press conference, Baghaei declared that Iran plans to give a “definite and effective response to the Zionist regime.” The nature of that response, he said, will depend on the nature of the Israeli attack, although specific details were not provided.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also spoke, instructing Iranian authorities to determine how best to demonstrate Iran’s power to Israel, without minimizing or exaggerating the impact of the attack.
Israel carried out three waves of airstrikes that targeted missile factories and other strategic locations near Tehran and western Iran, its military reported. These attacks are the latest in a series of retaliations that have raised fears of a possible larger conflagration in the Middle East.
Furthermore, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, expressed concern about the escalation of violence, calling for an end to it. The context of this violence includes Iran’s support for groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, which are currently involved in intense conflicts with Israel in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, respectively.
