— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iranian Foreign Minister, Nasser Kanaani: 'The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to respond & to determine the type of retaliation and punishment against the aggressor'

@Middle_East_Spectator

Yes, but at the very least, Iran needs to deliver a direct response to Israel, unlike previously.

Simply striking a Mossad safehouse in Iraq or striking targets in Syria won't be an appropriate response anymore.

Attacking an Iranian Embassy is a red line, it is equivalent to striking Iran directly, and I hope the leadership understands that.

For example, there are plenty of Israeli consulates outside of Israel that can be considered legitimate targets.

🏴‍☠⚡️The enemy’s Minister of War threatens: We will strike Hezbollah not only in Beirut, Baalbek, Nabatieh, Sidon, Tyre, and Damascus, but in more distant places, and we will shift from defense to attack.
Wherever we need to act, we will act!
