Along with Israel, US will also pay heavy price for attack: Iranian forces

Tehran: The Iranian military has officially responded to the Israeli attacks, saying that Israel will pay a heavy price for the attack.

Ebrahim Rezaei, a representative of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian parliament, has warned Israel of Iran’s retaliation and said that Tel Aviv’s actions will be met with a heavy response.

According to the spokesman for the Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Israel, as well as the United States, will have to pay a heavy price.

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said that the enemy made a serious mistake by attacking Iran, and Iran will respond strongly.

He stated that Israel carried out these attacks with the help of the United States; now, the enemy is waiting for Iran’s response.

It is pertinent to note that Israel has carried out airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear and military targets. The head of the Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami, and atomic scientists were martyred in these attacks.

Iranian media confirmed the attacks on the northern, western, and central areas of the capital, Tehran.

According to Iranian media, several residential areas have been targeted in Tehran, and several people, including children, have been killed in the attack.

Iranian media have confirmed that explosions have also been heard in Isfahan province.

Meanwhile, Iran has suspended all flights at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport, and a high-level security meeting of the Iranian leadership is also underway. The country's air defense system is on full alert.

It is pertinent to note that these attacks on Iran were carried out 2 days before the US-Iran indirect talks scheduled for Sunday, and Iranian officials had warned that if Israel attacks, there will be a strong response.

On the other hand, Israel has been put on high alert due to the fear of retaliatory ballistic attacks from Iran. A state of emergency has been declared in Israel, and the Netanyahu government has advised citizens to stay near bomb shelters.
