The country’s top security council, one of Iran’s most important decision-making bodies, emphasized in a statement Thursday that military and strategic responses will be swift and proportional if external actors seek to further escalate the conflict.
The council declared, “If a third party intervenes in this attack, Iran will soon stand up to it in accordance with the prescribed plans.”
The statement highlights Tehran’s determination to defend his sovereignty over Israel’s hostile conduct.
The Israeli government launched an unattacked attack on Iran last Friday, injuring 1,000 citizens, including martyred and respected IRGC commander Hossain Salami, Prime Minister Staff Mohammad Bagieri, nuclear scientists Feredun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehadi Helanlanian, to 1,000 citizens.
Iranian officials characterize the attack as “deliberately coordinated” with Washington based on the actions and statements of US officials.
But US President Donald Trump says Washington could also enter war directly.
In his latest remarks, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, said Iran would resist both “subject peace” and “a war imposed.” He also said direct US intervention would result in “irreparable harm” for Americans.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has stepped up its military operations against Israel.
On Thursday, the IRGC launched its 15th Operation Trumis 3, targeting military and industrial sites of governments in the occupied territories.
