TEL AVIV, Israel — Iran’s military issued a carefully worded statement Saturday night suggesting a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon trumps any retaliation against Israel.
Following the airstrikes, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it had a right to self-defense, and “considers itself entitled and obligated to defend against foreign acts of aggression.” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran has “no limits” in defending its interests. U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters Israel gave him a heads-up before the strikes and said it looked like “they didn’t hit anything but military targets.” He said he had just finished a call with intelligence officials.Iran hadn’t faced a sustained barrage of fire from a foreign enemy since its 1980s war with Iraq. Explosions could be heard in Tehran until sunrise.
Images released by Israel’s military showed members preparing to depart for the strikes in American-made F-15 and F-16 warplanes. “By targeting military sites and missile facilities over nuclear and energy infrastructure, Israel is also messaging that it seeks no further escalation for now," Vakil said."This is a sign that the diplomacy and back-channel efforts to moderate the strike were successful.”
Saudi Arabia was one of multiple countries in the region condemning the strike, calling it a violation of Iran's “sovereignty and a violation of international laws and norms.”
