Iran’s national police chief said on Friday that law enforcement units are on full alert across the country following Israeli strikes and warned of a “harsh and regret-inducing” response.
Ahmadreza Radan praised the late commanders and nuclear scientists killed in the strikes and said their deaths would be avenged. He also welcomed the newly appointed commanders named by Iran’s Supreme Leader, saying that law enforcement forces would fully support them.
Iran’s Airports and Air Navigation Company announced on Friday that all flights at airports across the country are suspended until further notice, citing passenger safety.
The decision follows a directive from Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has written to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi following Israeli airstrikes on multiple locations, including the Natanz nuclear facility.
In the letter, Araghchi called on the IAEA to clearly condemn the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He said Iran would take special measures to protect its nuclear equipment and materials, and warned of a firm response to the strikes.
He also urged Grossi to immediately convene an emergency meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors to address the situation.
