Israir Airlines said on Friday it was evacuating and relocating its aircraft from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. The move is part of a contingency plan developed in recent days, the company said.
Deputy Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, said in a televised interview that Israel should expect a “crushing and severe” response from the armed forces following the deaths of several commanders and scientists in the strikes.
Iran has never initiated a war but will not remain silent in the face of aggression, government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said Friday, following Israeli strikes on Iran.
In a post on X, Mohajerani described the attack as a "cowardly miscalculation" and "a sign of fear of our great nation."
She added: “The calm and vigilance of our people is our national asset. Iran is not comparable to any other country, and its response will be decisive, legitimate, and at the right time.”
