Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is bristling after his failed missile attack against Israel over the weekend. He appeared at a military parade yesterday north of the nation’s capital and issued a stern warning to Bibi Netanyahu, saying that the « tiniest invasion » of Iran by Israel would result in a « massive and harsh » response from his country. He also appeared to try to explain away the failed attack, describing it as « limited » in scope, claiming that Iran could launch a much larger assault and « nothing would remain from the Zionist regime” as a result. This seems unlikely to daunt Israel, which has clearly stated that they plan to respond at a time of their choosing. In other words, the situation in the Middle East does not appear to be calming down at all. (Associated Press)
Iran’s president has warned that the “tiniest invasion” by Israel would bring a “massive and harsh” response, as the region braces for potential Israeli retaliation after Iran’s attack over the weekend.
President Ebrahim Raisi spoke Wednesday at an annual army parade that was relocated to a barracks north of the capital, Tehran, from its usual venue on a highway in the city’s southern outskirts. Iranian authorities gave no explanation for its relocation, and state TV did not broadcast it live, as it has in previous years.
