Iran warned on Thursday that it would deliver a “brutal” response to Saturday’s Israeli attack on Iranian military installations, saying Israel would “regret it”, local media reported.

“The recent action of the Zionist regime, which attacked parts of our country, was a desperate act, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond in a brutal manner that will make Israel regret,” said Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, a senior adviser. of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to the Tasnim news agency.

He praised the performance of Iranian air defense for having “prevented the entry of Zionist regime fighter jets into the territory” and said the damage caused by the strikes was “minimal”.

Mohammad Golpayegani is an influential cleric, as chief of staff to Ayatollah Khamenei, who has the final say on all state affairs.

On October 26, the Israeli army for the first time publicly admitted to having attacked military targets on Iranian territory, in an operation presented as retaliation for Iranian missile attacks against Israel on October 1.er october.

Israel said its strikes had notably targeted missile manufacturing facilities while Tehran downplayed their scope.

In Iran, the army announced the death of four soldiers and specified that only “radar systems” had been damaged in this attack which had been judged “weak” by the local press. Local media also reported a civilian killed.

Also on Thursday, General Hossein Salami, the head of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Islamic Republic’s ideological army, warned that an “unimaginable” response would be in store for Israel.

“Israel has reached the stage of collapse and now it acts blindly, without respecting any rules, and commits all crimes,” he added, according to Tasnim.

Since the October 26 attacks, Israel has warned Iran against retaliating, while Tehran, declaring that it does not seek war, has promised to respond.
