Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said Israel had been dealt a “severe and historic punishment” as it agreed to halt its military campaign, in a message to the nation on Tuesday following a 12-day war.
“Today, the enemy aggressor was forced to stop its warmongering under conditions where it suffered a harsh and historic punishment,” he wrote.
“This war ended through the will and strength of the great Iranian nation,” he added.
