This strong statement is coming after Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, assured “Iran will pay for attacking Israel.”
The Israeli PM described Iran’s attack at Israel as “a big mistake”.
On Tuesday 1 October, 2024, Iran “launched 200 ballistic missiles of various types” at Israel; an action that forced thousands of Israelis to take cover in bomb shelters.
According to Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, Iran’s missiles struck “central and southern Israel.”
Iran Military said: “If the Zionist terrorists choose to escalate once again, we will respond with overwhelming force, and this is a commitment the Islamic Republic of Iran firmly stands by.
“There is no place in occupied Palestine—that the long arm of Iran cannot reach.”
