Iranians to retaliate against any act of folly targeting their country: President
President Masoud Pezeshkian asserts that the Iranian nation would retaliate fearlessly and wisely against any act of folly targeting their country.
“Iran’s enemies should know [this] that the warrior nation stands fearlessly in defense of its soil and responds to any act of folly with prudence and intelligence,” the chief executive wrote in a post on X, former Twitter, on Sunday.
The remarks came after Iran’s Air Defense Force confirmed Israeli attacks targeting positions in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam Provinces, saying the aggression was successfully thwarted.
successfully thwarted.
The Iranian Army said four of its servicemen had been martyred in the attacks.
Pezeshkian hailed the victims for sacrificing their lives in defense of the country, condoling with the Army, their survivors, and the nation over their martyrdom.
On Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also addressed the issue of the attacks in a post on X, strongly condemning the atrocity as a “reckless and cowardly assault” and a “violation of international law and the UN Charter.”
”We fully reserve our right to duly respond to this aggression, which cannot be separated from Israel's genocide in Gaza and bloodshed in Lebanon. The world must unite against this common threat to international peace & security,” the top diplomat added.
Araghchi sent a letter to the United Nations, calling the attack “unlawful and aggressive” and denouncing the Israeli regime for violation of the Islamic Republic’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He called on the UN to take a "firm stance and condemn” the regime.
Also on Saturday, Araghchi spoke to Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Bassam al-Sabbagh, and Badr Abdelatty, his counterparts from Qatar, Syria, and Egypt, asserting likewise that the Islamic Republic would undoubtedly deliver a “decisive and proper” response to any act of aggression against its territorial sovereignty and security.
He, meanwhile, urged the international community to try to prevent expansion of the scope of war to the entire region by taking “prompt and effective action” to enable realization of just ceasefires in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, which have been subjected to incessant deadly aggression by the Israeli regime since last October.
For their part, the foreign officials condemned the Israeli attack against the Islamic Republic, while laying emphasis on the need for enhancement of efforts at bringing about cessation of the regime’s aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, stopping its war machine, and reestablishment of stability and security in the region.
