Iranian lawmakers warn Israel of 'harsh retaliation'

Iranian lawmakers on Wednesday issued a warning to Israel, vowing a “calculated and harsh retaliation” in response to strikes on Iranian territory.

In a joint statement, members of Iran’s parliament condemned what they described as “aggression and warmongering” by Israel, saying it “will not go unanswered.”

“This unjustified aggression will not go unanswered. A calculated and harsh retaliation awaits the Zionist regime,” the statement said.

The lawmakers also cautioned foreign parliaments against remaining silent, warning that inaction would be interpreted as complicity in Israeli actions.
