Iran will not react rashly

In a brazen move, the Israeli regime launched a pre-dawn attack on Saturday with dozens of fighter jets, in coordination with US forces in the region, targeting several military sites in Iran. According to Iranian military officials, Israeli aircraft did not cross into Iranian airspace, and the country’s air defense systems successfully countered the strikes, minimizing the damage.
The question on everyone’s mind now is how Iran will hit back at to the Israeli aggression and whether it will retaliate immediately. Will tensions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Israeli regime escalate or reduce?
Based on official stances in the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly the Leader’s remarks, Iran will not react impulsively or hastily. Moreover, Iran’s Armed Forces will conduct a thorough assessment of the recent Israeli attacks to identify their weaknesses and strengths, as well as those of their adversary. Therefore, it appears that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not respond immediately to Israel’s aggression, although it will remain on high alert to counter potential future threats.
