‘It’ll have painful consequences’: Iran warns Israel against counter-attack

Iran has again warned Israel against mounting a military counter-attack following Tehran’s recent air assault on the country.

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi gave the warning during a telephone call with the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, on Tuesday.

Raisi warned that “the slightest action” by Israel against Iran’s national interests “will have extensive and painful consequences”.

Details of the call were published on the web portal of Iran’s presidential office.

Israel: We’ll respond to Iran attack

Iran had recently warned Israel several times of a military response to its large-scale attack, in which hundreds of drones and missiles were fired towards Israel on Saturday night.

The country’s Security Council said the Iranian response to any further Israeli action would be “at least 10 times more drastic” than the first attack, according to dpa.

So far, Iran has chosen the least severe form of punishment for Israel, the Council added.

Israel’s military leadership said Israel does not intend to leave Saturday’s large-scale Iranian attack unanswered.
