Iran’s FM dismisses reported strike by Israel as ‘at the level of toys our children use’

Iran’s foreign minister dismisses reported Israeli strike in response to the unprecedented Iranian missile and drone attack as child’s play. He says Tehran will not respond unless Iranian “interests” were targeted.

“What happened… was no attack,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian tells NBC News.

“It was the flight of two or three quad-copters, which are at the level of toys that our children use in Iran.”

He adds that, “As long as there is no new adventure on behalf of the Israeli regime against Iran’s interests, we will have no response.”

However, the alleged Israeli strike in Iran overnight Thursday-Friday went beyond the scope of several small drones described by Tehran, US media reported Friday.

The strike reportedly included three missiles launched by Israeli Air Force warplanes that targeted an air defense radar site near Isfahan that was part of an array defending the nearby top-secret Natanz nuclear site.
