As news began circulating on Friday regarding the Israeli attack on Iran, President Ebrahim Raisi asserted in a speech in Semnan Province that Iran is engaged in a battle of determination and resilience, affirming the nation’s resolve to achieve ongoing successes.
“Operation True Promise reflected our people’s power, unity and iron will,” he stressed.
Raisi added that all segments of the people and all political currents unanimously agree that Iran’s response to the Israeli aggression on the consulate in Damascus “has strengthened the power and prowess of the Islamic Republic.”
It is noteworthy that Raisi did not mention the attack on Isfahan that took place earlier today.
On his part, the Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force, Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari, addressed “Israel” during a speech before Friday prayers in Tehran, stating, “If you make a mistake, you will be punished more severely this time.”
Furthermore, he declared that if suspicious aircraft appear in the country’s airspace, “they will not be safe from targeting by our defensive forces.”
10 countries failed in intercepting Iranian drones, missiles: Raisi
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi revealed Thursday that more than 10 countries attempted, using their technological capabilities, to thwart Operation True Promise but failed.
The United States with all its capabilities, as well as France, other European countries, and some regional states, took part in intercepting Iranian missiles and drones launched toward Israeli targets in occupied Palestine, Raisi pointed out during a speech in the city of Shahrud, also in Semnan.
He indicated that the precise Iranian retaliatory strikes against “Israel” took place despite Iran not employing the element of surprise.
The Iranian President warned that if the Israeli occupation entity makes a mistake and attacks Iranian territories, Tehran’s response will make “Israel” and its backers regret their actions.
Raisi pointed out on Wednesday that Iran’s retaliatory attack against “Israel” was a precise action aimed at punishing the Israeli occupation.
He indicated that Operation True Promise was a limited action, underlining that should Iran decide on a broader operation against “Israel”, the occupation entity would be wiped out.
He also warned that any hostile actions by “Israel” against Iran’s interests would be met with a stronger response.
