Egypt Daily News – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned that Iran will deliver stronger and more painful responses to Israel if its attacks against Iran persist. He stressed that unless there is a “firm and collective” response to the Israeli occupation, other countries in the region will also not be safe from Israeli aggression.
Speaking in a phone call on Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, President Pezeshkian stated that Iran did not initiate the conflict but responded “with full determination” and if the attacks are repeated, the aggressors should expect harsher and more decisive retaliation.
For his part, Al-Sudani, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, offered his condolences for the deaths of several Iranian military commanders and innocent civilians as a result of Israeli strikes. He affirmed Iraq’s support for Iran and strongly condemned the attacks carried out by the Israeli occupation.
