Tehran has warned Israel that any attack on Iranian infrastructure will be met with retaliation.
Reuters reports that Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, made the statement on Tuesday morning.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported Monday night that the Iranian military had prepared at least ten scenarios in preparation for an expected Israeli attack.
A military source was quoted as saying:
“The Iranian response will not necessarily be reciprocal to the same level of Israeli action, but it may be more severe and aimed at different targets that would enhance the effectiveness of the response.”
On October 1, Iran launched its second direct attack on Israel this year, reportedly prompted by the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Two Israelis were slightly wounded in the October 1 attack, and one Palestinian was killed by falling rubble in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Also, Iran successfully managed to hit and damage at least one military base in Israel.
