Tehran does not rule out a potential US-Israel pre-emptive strike to prevent it from retaliating against Israel.
Although the full extent of the damage is not yet known, it is quite clear that the regime’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems have been significantly set back.
An indictment was also filed against a Bnei Brak resident who was accused of following an Israeli nuclear scientist at the direction of Iranian agents.
Due to this possible breach, Iran's ability to intercept targets was limited and allowed the Israeli air force to penetrate Iranian airspace.
Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman warned Iran will "continue its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, and continue supplying Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other Shi'ite militias."
Iran’s police force reportedly warned civilians that sharing evidence of the attacks with “hostile media affiliated with the Zionist regime” would lead to 10 years imprisonment.
Iran said its air defenses had successfully countered the attack but some locations had received "limited damage."
Saturday's strike was not just a threat; it was a promise that reached the heart of Tehran.
As Israel fights Iran's proxies in Gaza and Lebanon, Iran's efforts to destabilize the region could open another dangerous front in the east.
Iran would have a proportional response ready for any Israeli attack on Iranian soil, the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi threatened Israel from Turkey.
