Iran Warns of Crushing Retaliation against Israeli Diplomatic Targets
A senior military spokesperson issued a stark warning that any attack on Iran’s diplomatic missions will trigger swift and forceful retaliation, with all Israeli-linked diplomatic sites in the region declared legitimate targets.
The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters of Iran cautioned against any aggression targeting Iran’s diplomatic facilities, emphasizing that such actions would provoke a decisive response.
In a statement on Saturday, the spokesperson reiterated a previous warning and addressed the “ailing and declining Zionist regime,” stating that any assault on Iranian embassies or diplomatic centers would lead to retaliatory strikes.
According to the remarks, all diplomatic missions associated with the Israeli regime in the region would be considered legitimate targets for Iran’s Armed Forces.
The spokesperson further stressed that Iran would act on its warnings with both speed and intensity, underscoring the seriousness of the threat and the readiness of the country’s military to respond.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
