Iran’s president says a potential ceasefire between its allies and Israel “could affect the intensity” of Tehran’s response to Israel’s recent strikes on Iranian military sites.
“If they (the Israelis) reconsider their behavior, accept a ceasefire, and stop massacring the oppressed and innocent people of the region, it could affect the intensity and type of our response,” Masoud Pezeshkian says, quoted by state news agency IRNA.
He adds that Iran “will not leave unanswered any aggression against its sovereignty and security,” according to the news agency.
Israeli warplanes carried out the October 26 strikes in retaliation for Tehran’s October 1 ballistic missile barrage.
Iran had in turn described that attack as a reprisal for the killing of Hamas and Hezbollah terror group leaders and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander.
