Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian commented on Iran's missile strike on occupied Palestine, saying that Iran's response to "Israel" was merely one aspect of its military force.

"Based on legitimate rights and with the aim of (maintaining) peace and security for Iran and the region, a decisive response was given to the aggression of the Zionist regime," Pezeshkian said in a statement on X.

This measure was taken to preserve Iran's interests and citizens, he said, adding, that "Netanyahu should know that Iran is not a warmonger, but it stands firmly against any threat."

He warned the occupation not to "enter into a conflict with Iran," as this was "only a part of our power."

بر اساس حقوق مشروع و با هدف صلح و امنیت برای ایران و منطقه، پاسخ قاطع به تجاوزات رژیم صهیونیستی داده شد. این اقدام در دفاع از منافع و اتباع ایرانی بود. نتانیاهو بداند، ایران جنگ‌طلب نیست اما در برابر هر تهدیدی قاطعانه می‌ایستد. این تنها گوشه‌ای از توان ماست. با ایران وارد درگیری…

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

Numerous missiles have reportedly made an impact, with reports indicating that over 400 missiles and projectiles had been launched from Iran toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

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

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

Israeli reports, on the other hand, indicate that somewhere in the ballpark of 300 rockets had been launched from Iran.

The IRGC's operation has been declared "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, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

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.
