The Iranian regime on Tuesday guaranteed it would respond immediately to any Israeli attack, raising fears of a retaliatory escalation that would be difficult to overcome and prompting Israel’s allies to redouble their calls for restraint.
“This time Iran will not wait 12 days to respond. Retaliation will be a matter of seconds,” Iranian MNE MP Ali Bagheri Kani threatened, hours after President Ebrahim Raisi assured that “the slightest action against Iranian interests will have a firm and painful response.”
Israel’s war cabinet met for a third straight day on Tuesday to discuss its response to Saturday’s attack of more than 300 missiles and drones on its territory. According to MK Yuli Edelstein, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs Committee, Israel wants to send a “message of deterrence” but at the same time ensure that the confrontation ends there. “I hope the Iranians understand that it is not in their interests to continue this. We are not interested in a large-scale war,” he emphasized.
In addition to the military response being prepared, Israel has already launched what it calls a “diplomatic attack” against Iran, and INE Israel Katz has sent letters to 32 countries asking them to strengthen sanctions against the Tehran regime and declare a Revolutionary Policy. Protects a terrorist organization. The decision was welcomed by US-led allies who hope increased international diplomatic and financial pressure on Tehran can persuade Tel Aviv to soften its military response.
