Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani warned the Israeli occupation from carrying out any atrocities against Iran, urging “Israel” to consider the colossal cost of repair after Tehran’s “shocking” response.

“Instead of allocating 1.5 billion dollars budget for atrocities against #Iran, the Zionist regime should focus on providing tens of thousands of billion dollars funding to repair the damage that is going to be caused by Iran's shocking response," Shamkhani tweeted.

Shamkhani’s stern message came after The Times of "Israel” published a report by Israeli Channel 12,  detailing that officials had approved a budget of USD 1.5 billion to purchase high-powered weapons and equipment in preparation for a possible attack against Iran.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry had announced that Iran will soon be rejoining the nuclear talks before November, after their suspension last June. 

Six rounds of talks were held between Iran and international powers, including France, in Vienna during the period between April and June, in an attempt to revive the nuclear agreement.
