In the name of God
The victorious operation of the soldiers of Islam in response to the Zionist regime's encroachment on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the defense of the oppressed people of Gaza became a source of pride, honor and satisfaction for the Muslims of the world.
Undoubtedly, the noble nation of Iran is grateful for this decisive and proud operation and will always stand by the Mujahideen and the Muslim armies until the defeat of the Global arrogance and the destruction of oppression.
I, for my part, appreciate all these zealous men and I invite the noble nation of Iran to be fully alert against the cultural and economic conspiracies of the enemies and to fully support the military forces, which, God willing, will bring the final victory of Islam.

In response to the Israeli aggression, Iran attacked the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories with a barrage of drones and missiles early on Sunday night.
IRGC conducted drones and missile attacks against occupied lands to exercise the right of legitimate defense and its responsible approach to regional and international peace and security.
Iran officials, including the minister of foreign affairs, emphasized that Iran has no intention of continuing defensive operations, but if necessary, it will not hesitate to protect its legitimate interests against any new aggression.
Iran has not targeted any civilians in its response to Israeli aggression and only targeted the airbase for F-35 jets and intel centers used in the strike on its consulate in Damascus.
Referring to the role of the UN and international organizations in preventing tension in the region, Iran stressed that if the UN had condemned the Israeli strike, Iran would have thought twice about its response.
