Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned the German and Austrian ambassadors in Tehran on Thursday to protest their countries' reactions to Iran’s missile retaliation against "Israel".

The move came after both Germany and Austria summoned the Iranian envoys in response to Iran's Operation True Promise II.

During the meetings, Majid Nili Ahmadabadi, Director General of the Western Europe Department at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed the country’s determination to protect its security.

He stressed that the missile strike was a legitimate act of self-defense, as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and followed two months of restraint.

Ahmadabadi also criticized European support for "Israel", stating that had European nations taken stronger actions, such as cutting off military and financial support, the Israeli regime’s violence could have been stopped sooner, preventing the ongoing tragedies.

The German and Austrian ambassadors acknowledged the protest and pledged to relay Iran’s message back to their governments.

Sirens have sounded all over occupied Palestine as Iranian media announced Tuesday that the Iranian response to Israeli aggression had started.

Dozens of missiles have reportedly hit their designated target, as the IRGC announced that 200 missiles had been launched from Iran toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

"We have targeted the heart of the occupied territories in response to the assassination of martyrs Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Nilforooshian," the IRGC said in a statement.

The statement further said, warning "Israel", "If the Zionist regime retaliates to the Iranian operation, it will face violent consequences."

Operation True Promise 2

The IRGC codenames its missile attack "Operation True Promise 2", after its antecedent "Operation True Promise", during which an unprecedented drone and missile attack was launched at "Israel" from Iran in April, in response to the Israeli assassination of its officials and aggression on its embassy in Damascus.

In a second statement, the IRGC confirmed that three military bases in Tel Aviv were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase.

In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to the assassination of Hezbollah's martyred leader. 

Additionally, at least 90% of Iran's ballistic missiles and projectiles launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck their targets, according to the IRGC's second statement.

The attack also successfully hit gas platforms near the occupied city of Askalan, according to Tasnim News Agency.
