Raisi emphasized that Iran's actions, undertaken through Operation Truthful Promise, were in defense of its sovereignty and national interests, as well as a punishment for its enemies, particularly in response to Israeli attacks on Iranian interests, including the recent attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. He asserted that Iran's defensive measures are legitimate acts of self-defense.

Raisi highlighted that Iran's operations send a message of strength to Islamic nations and a message of fear to the enemies of humanity. He described the actions as smart and deliberate, targeting Israeli military bases that destabilize regional security and stability.

Furthermore, Raisi emphasized Iran's efforts to warn the international community about the dangers of the UN Security Council's ineffectiveness in addressing Israeli violations, which he attributes to US influence. He stressed Iran's commitment to restoring peace and stability in the region, while also condemning Israeli occupation and terrorism.

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Hussein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the Iranian response to Israeli aggression has been more successful than anticipated. He indicated that the operation targeted Israeli facilities involved in attacking the Iranian consulate in Damascus, resulting in greater-than-expected success. While further details on the extent of the damage are being gathered, Salami highlighted that the operation could have been broader but was confined to specific targets. (ILKHA)
