Iran will give ‘firmer, more decisive’ response any new Israeli attack: MP

A senior lawmaker has warned that Iran’s response to any future Israeli strike would be stronger than before.

Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said on Saturday that Iran and its armed forces would stand firm if faced with another assault by Israel or its backers. “This time our response will be firmer and more decisive,” he stressed.

He stressed that Israel was not alone in its 12-day war against Iran in June, as it was fully supported by the United States and several other countries. “The confrontation should not be reduced to a war between Iran and Israel, as multiple countries were involved militarily in this campaign against us,” he said.

He added that Iran’s military strikes had forced Washington to send a message through US envoy Steve Witkoff to Iran’s foreign minister, calling for a ceasefire.
