Iran has issued fresh warnings after a barrage of drones and ballistic missiles against Israel, saying it will respond with more force if Israel retaliates for the strikes, which Tehran says are in response to the attack on its embassy compound in Damascus. , capital of Syria.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent right of self-defense when required,” Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, said in a statement. If the Israeli regime commits any military attack again, Iran’s response will certainly and decisively be stronger and more decisive,” Ambassador Iravani added.

Citing self-defense against repeated Israeli military attacks, Iravani said the strikes were specifically in retaliation for an April 1 Israeli attack on Iran’s diplomatic facilities in Damascus.

Furthermore, Iran claims that the attack violated international law and led to the death of seven Iranian military advisers, including key commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.

At the same time, he criticizes the United Nations Security Council for “failure to support international peace”, allowing Israel to “violate” established international norms and “escalate” regional tensions.

It is recalled that Israel has not taken responsibility for the April 1st attack that destroyed a building of the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
