In a stern message to Israel, Iran has reiterated its warning against any retaliatory actions following the unprecedented attack on Israeli territory. Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_0%%, issued the caution during a televised address on Sunday.
The overnight bombardment, which targeted Israeli positions, has raised %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_1%%. In response, General Bagheri asserted that should Israel choose to retaliate, Iran's next steps would be "much larger." The implications of such a statement have drawn %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_2%%, with concerns over potential escalation.
Furthermore, Iran has directed a warning toward %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_3%%. Any backing of Israeli retaliation by the %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_4%% would not go unnoticed. The Iranian military has explicitly stated that it would consider US bases as %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_5%% in such a scenario.
The Iranian mission to the United Nations cited Article 51 of the UN Charter, which outlines the right to self-defence. According to %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_6%%, the matter is now "concluded" after their barrage against Israel. However, they cautioned Israel against making "another mistake."
