Anticipating retaliatory attack from Israel, Iran’s permanent representative to UN, Amir Saeed Irani said his country was not seeking ‘war or escalation’ but would exercise ‘inherent right to self-defense’
Fearing Israel’s “precise and surprising” retaliatory attack, Iran has now claimed that it is “fully prepared to defend its sovereignty” if it is struck by its arch-foe.
Israel’s response will be ‘deadly, precise, surprising’
The statement by Tehran comes over a week after it fired around 200 missiles into Israel on October 1 as a retaliation to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh along with an Iranian general.
Iran claims it’s “fully prepared” for retaliatory strike that came after Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vowed this week that his country’s response would be “deadly, precise and surprising”.
Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, said in his address to the UN Security Council yesterday that the Islamic
Republic “stands fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression targeting its vital interests and security”.
