In a strongly worded statement, the Iranian government pointed out that Israel is engaged in terrorism and warned “revenge is near.”
The Israeli attacks struck both military and civilian sites across Tehran and several provinces.
In its official statement, the Iranian government declared that Israel has violated international law and “ignited the flames of war.”
It vowed to respond through “defensive, political, and legal actions” and warned that Israel “will find not rest.”
The government described Israel as a “terrorist regime” and called on the UN Security Council to act but affirmed that Iran would not wait for international mediation.
“The end of this story will be written by Iran,” the statement concluded, echoing earlier remarks by Iran’s Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, who promised “a bitter and painful fate” for Israel.
