Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday warned that Israel would "regret its foolish act," vowing a powerful and legitimate response following Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.
In a message to the nation, Pezeshkian called on Iranians to trust the country’s leadership and stand united. “Our response will be strong and calculated. Israel will face consequences that will make it regret its aggression,” he said.
"The Iranian nation and its officials will not remain silent in the face of this crime, and the legitimate and powerful response of the Islamic Republic of Iran will make the enemy regret its foolish act."
"Here, I call on the noble and courageous people of Iran to maintain their unity, solidarity, and empathy; to avoid paying attention to rumors and false information spread in the enemy’s psychological warfare; and to support and trust the authorities, so as to help the country pass through this situation as powerfully as possible."
