Iran will intensify its military response in the coming days and continue punitive action until clear results are achieved, a senior Iranian lawmaker said Sunday.
“The Zionists were overwhelmed, which is why the United States attacked Iran,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of parliament’s national security committee.
"Israel’s economy and military standing have collapsed," he added, warning that "any miscalculation would carry severe consequences."
The United States has not requested UK support for its military actions against Iran, including the use of the Diego Garcia airbase, British Trade Minister Jonathan Reynolds said Sunday.
Diego Garcia, a key strategic base in the Indian Ocean, has historically been used in major US operations in the Middle East.
86 people were hospitalized following the latest round of Iranian missile strikes, including two in moderate condition, Israel’s Health Ministry reported Sunday,
77 were listed in good condition, while four were treated for acute anxiety.
The condition of three others remains under evaluation. The strikes, which targeted Tel Aviv, prompted a broad emergency response across the city.
