PM Netanyahu promised that Iran would pay for its missile attack against Israel.
Iran launched a salvo of missiles on Oct 1 against Israel in retaliation for the killing of several leaders of Iran-aligned armed groups.
The Iranian foreign minister said Iran's action against Israel came after exercising tremendous restraint to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza. “Our defensive operation is in line with international law and the right to self defence ... we only targeted military and security facilities,” the foreign ministry said in its statement regarding the missile attack on Israel.
As Washington expressed full backing for its longtime ally Israel, Iran’s armed forces said direct intervention by Israel’s supporters against Tehran would provoke a “strong attack” from Iran on their “bases and interests” in the region.
