TEHRAN – The Iranian parliament has condemned the recent Israeli attacks on Iranian soil and civilians, warning that a “severe and calculated response” that serves as a “history lesson” awaits Tel Aviv’s regime.
A statement issued Wednesday days after the fatal Israeli attack on Iran’s territory, pointed to Israeli war crimes, calling aggression a continuation of the regime’s “bloody legacy.”
Iranian lawmakers called the strikes a terrible violation of international law and vowed that the attacks would not be unanswered.
A parliamentary statement describes Israeli operations as “unprovoked aggression” that spilled the blood of Iranian civilians, women, children, scientists and military commanders. It compared this act to “Satan’s hand coming from the sleeve of a tyrant,” depicting Israel as an embodiment of modern evil.
Despite years of hostility and provocation, the statement argues that Iran consistently refrains from launching conflicts and continues to pursue diplomacy even under pressure. However, lawmakers declared that Iran’s perseverance should not be mistaken for weakness, and that its people’s unity (all ethnic, religious and political boundaries are rooted in an unwavering commitment to protecting their homelands.”
The lawmakers also urged the International Parliament to abandon silence, claiming that neutrality in the face of Israel’s actions amounted to complicity. They thanked the Pakistan government and parliament for its “principle and fair” stance and urged other countries to oppose this “historical injustice.”
The Israeli regime implemented an offensive against Iranian soil early on Friday, targeting top-ranked military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.
They also deliberately attacked the Natantz nuclear facility in Isfahan, central Iran. This elicited widespread condemnation as a violation of all international law.
In response, Iran launched a retaliation operation called “True Promise III” in self-defense. So far, 11 phases of the operation have been carried out with great success.
