Tehran will “use all available tools” to respond to Israel’s weekend strikes on military targets in Iran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says.
Speaking at a weekly televised news conference, Baghaei says: “[Iran] will use all available tools to deliver a definite and effective response to the Zionist regime.”
Baghaei doesn’t give any further details on the possible nature of the response.
Israeli jets conducted strikes on military targets throughout Iran in the early hours of Saturday morning in retaliation for Tehran’s ballistic missile barrage on the country earlier this month.
The widespread strikes reportedly crippled Iran’s ability to produce long-range ballistic missiles, and rendered crucial energy facilities vulnerable to future attacks by destroying air defense batteries protecting them.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday that the air attack was “precise and powerful” and achieved all its goals, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that Tehran officials would determine how best to respond to the strikes.
