Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left no doubt in a statement on Wednesday, regarding what his Jewish country might do should current tensions with Iran escalate further. 'Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself,' Netanyahu said in a statement.
Raisi said Saturday’s attack was a limited one but that 'nothing would remain from the Zionist regime,' should it escalate the current situation, the official IRNA news agency reported. Israel and Iran have waged a shadow war for decades, with the war coming to a head over the past few months as Iran supports Hamas, which carried out the deadliest terror attack in Israel’s history on Oct. 7.
Its allies have urged any retaliation to be strikes in areas that would not result in human casualties and thus, likely avoiding further escalation. Saturday’s attack was the first direct Iranian military attack on Israel. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
