– Tehran’s top diplomat in Damascus on Saturday threatened an “even stronger” reaction to any aggression, as Israel readied its response to an Iranian missile attack earlier this week.
“Our reaction to any attack by the Zionist regime is completely clear,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters in the Syrian capital, where he met top officials including Tehran’s ally President Bashar al-Assad.
“For every action, there will be a proportional and similar reaction from Iran, and even stronger,” he said.
He spoke after an Israeli military official told AFP on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly, the army was “preparing a response to the unprecedented and unlawful Iranian attack”.
