A senior Iranian official has warned Israel to “prepare for what is coming”, insisting that Tehran’s response to the latest escalation in the Middle East will be made openly and without limits.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, the official said: “Our response will be public, and there are no red lines.” They added that “all American and Israeli assets and interests in the Middle East have become legitimate targets”.
Washington has yet to comment.
"There are no red lines after this aggression, and everything is possible, including scenarios that were not previously considered.”
The official described the latest joint action by the U.S. and Israel as “aggression”, adding that both countries “have started a war that will have wide and long-lasting repercussions”.
They said Tehran had prepared a “complex response with no time limit”.
According to the official, any effort to persuade Iran to soften its position will not succeed. Calls for restraint or compromise were described as “unacceptable and mere wishful thinking”.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had launched missiles and drones towards Israel following the U.S.-Israeli attacks. It said the first wave began “in response to the aggression of the hostile and criminal enemy against the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
Shortly after attacking Iran on Saturday, Israel said it had closed its airspace and sounded sirens to warn of possible retaliation.
