The speaker of the Iranian Shura Council, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that the slap delivered by the Iranian people to the Zionist enemy was precise, teaching "Israel" a lesson.
He added that the Iranian response would be tougher if the Zionist entity should make any movement.
In a speech at the Council’s public session this morning, Ghalibaf also said that the Iranian people's protectors' precise response delighted the hearts of "our people."
He stressed that this Iranian military action is part of the response to the Zionist aggression [on the Iranian consulate in Damascus] and within the framework of the United Nations Charter.

Attack on Iran will lead to response 'twice the force': IRGC commander
A high-ranking officer in the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) cautioned that if "Israel" carries out any more military attacks on the country's territory, then Iran will respond with a more significant retaliation.
Talking to Press TV, the senior IRGC commander warned that any attack on Iranian soil would see a response with "twice the force".
His comments came after the IRGC launched a massive operation late April 13, targeting the occupation entity with dozens of missiles and drones in response to the attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus last week, which resulted in the martyrdom of seven senior IRGC advisors, including Brigadier General martyr Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the leader of the IRGC's Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon.
In a statement, the IRGC said that the operation targeting "Israel," dubbed "True Promise," came following the "silence and neglect" of international organizations regarding the attack on the consulate and the assassination of its senior members. The statement pointed out that the United Nations Security Council also failed to condemn Israeli aggression or punish the entity in accordance with Article 7 of the UN Charter.
