The spokesperson for the Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian Parliament, Abu al-Fadl Amoui, affirmed that Iran’s response to the occupation entity was both legitimate and restrained. He noted that Iran refrained from deploying a significant portion of its power, underscoring the imperative to halt the occupation’s violations and crimes.
In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Amoui emphasized on Monday that Iran stands ready to confront any Israeli attack and will retaliate in proportion, highlighting the surge in diplomatic outreach from Western nations, requesting exclusion from Iran’s potential response to any Israeli aggression.

Amoui recalled that Iran had previously asked Western countries to condemn the Israeli aggression in the UN Security Council, but the latter did not respond to this request.
He emphasized that Iran is aware of “Israel’s” potential for retaliatory actions and its propensity for further provocations, warning that Iran has prepared for all situations and stands ready to respond with greater decisiveness and precision, utilizing weaponry previously unused, particularly in light of the vulnerabilities exposed in the Israeli security system by the initial strike.
Following the #Iranian response, on Sunday, to the Israeli assassination of two top commanders and seven military advisers in Iran’s consulate in #Damascus, the occupation has been facing a dilemma regarding if and how to respond to the attack.

Amoui urged consideration of the potential impact on “Israel” if Iran were to deploy a larger fleet of drones in its attacks, highlighting Iran’s possession of a significant number of drones that surpass the capabilities of Israeli security systems. He emphasized that Tehran maintains an abundance of rationality and courage, qualities it has consistently demonstrated in numerous past situations, stressing that it will continue to apply them in various scenarios.
Iran aims to avoid tensions, will respond to any attacks
He reiterated Iran’s stance, emphasizing its desire to avoid tensions in the region, pointing out that the occupation’s crimes in Gaza are the root cause of insecurity and destabilization in the region.
According to Amoui, Iran harbors a genuine desire and commitment to fostering positive relations with its neighbors. He affirmed Iran’s assurance to regional countries in this regard, warning that if neighboring lands were implicated in any attack against Iran, the latter would be compelled to address the situation differently. He urged regional countries to take this matter seriously.
The Security and Foreign Policy Committee spokesperson asserted that Washington’s support for the occupation entity, despite its reckless behavior, is concerning. He called on all nations to refrain from backing “Israel” in its criminal actions, particularly its recent aggression in Damascus. Amoui suggested that the most beneficial assistance the Americans could offer “Israel” is to pressure it into halting its aggressive actions.
“We urge all countries to step back and refrain from supporting the Zionists’ crimes, especially their illegal crime in #Damascus. The most effective action the Americans could take to help the Zionists is to coerce them to end their aggression.”

Amoui highlighted that Iran is a key member of the Axis of Resistance, maintaining strong relations with various resistance factions and allied nations. However, he expressed Iran’s preference for the “Truthful Promise” operation to be launched and conducted directly from Iranian territory, showcasing Iranian strength. He emphasized that Iran has transitioned beyond strategic patience and has entered a new phase, warning that attacks on Iranian advisors and facilities will no longer be tolerated without consequences.
He emphasized that the pressure is mounting on “Israel,” with growing international support for the Palestinians following the atrocities committed by the occupation. He suggested that a new world order is emerging, urging Biden and Netanyahu to embrace this “new Middle East” according to the aspirations of the region, rather than the version desired by the United States and “Israel”.
‘Israel made false claims to avoid responding’
Regarding the occupation’s assertion of intercepting 99% of Iranian missiles and drones, Amoui dismissed it as a mere claim fabricated by the Israelis to avoid responding.
He disclosed Iran’s capability to receive signals from the locations where its drones and missiles land, emphasizing that Iran accomplished its objectives by targeting two Israeli military bases in Jabal al-Sheikh and Nivotim, based on confirmed information available.
Amoui pointed out that simply observing the footage captured by the Palestinians is sufficient to discredit the occupation’s assertions on this matter.
