TEHRAN – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the occupying regime of Israel has made life miserable for itself by attacking Iran and assassinating a number of military commanders, scientists and civilians.
“What I wish to say to our dear nation is this that the Zionist regime has made a big mistake, a grave error, committed a reckless act,” the Leader said in a message on Friday.
“By God’s grace, the consequences of this will bring that regime to ruin. The Iranian nation won’t permit the blood of its valued martyrs to go unavenged, nor will it ignore the violation of its airspace,” he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran’s armed forces are ready to face Israel and all the officials in the country are on the side of the armed forces.
“Our armed forces are ready, and the country’s officials and all the people are behind the armed forces. Today, similar messages have been issued by all the various political factions and numerous groups throughout the country. Everyone feels that we must give a strong response to the evil, despicable, terrorist Zionist identity.”
Ayatollah Khamenei Iran will show no mercy to Israel.
“We must give a strong response. God willing, we will respond with strength, and we will show them no mercy. Life will definitely become bitter for them.
“They shouldn’t imagine that they’ve attacked us and that everything is over now. No! They are the ones who have started this and have begun a war,” the Leader added.
“The Zionist regime will not escape safely from the heinous crime that they’ve committed.”
Ayatollah Khamenei said that Iran’s armed forces will act fiercely against Israel.
“This is a certainty that the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will deal heavy blows to this evil enemy. The Iranian people are with us. They support the armed forces, and the Islamic Republic will triumph over the Zionist regime, by the will of God. Let our dear nation know this, be certain, and rest assured that every effort will be made in this regard.”
The Leader also offered condolences on the martyrdom of Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.
“I offer my greetings to the dear and noble people of our country. I extend my congratulations and condolences to the Iranian nation and the families of the martyrs on the martyrdom of our beloved commanders, scientists, and a number of civilians which of course is a heavy loss for everyone.
“We hope, God willing, that the Almighty God will elevate their ranks and encompass their pure souls with His special grace,” he said.
President Masoud Pezeshkian called the aggression a brutal action that reveals the Zionist regime’s criminal nature, promising a strong response that will make the enemy regret its move.
Pezeshkian said Iran will respond to the Israeli aggression in a wise, strong and resolute manner, calling on the Iranian people to maintain unity in the face of psychological warfare by the enemy.
“We witnessed a savage and criminal assault by the Zionist regime on Tehran and other cities across the country overnight, which claimed the lives of innocent civilians, including women and children, as well as military commanders and nuclear scientists.
“This barbaric act, which is in complete violation of all international commitments, reveals the criminal nature of the Zionist regime whose existence is founded on occupation, aggression, and killing children,” he said.
The attack, he said, proved to the world what Iran has been saying for years - that aggression and crime is inherent to the nature of the Zionist regime.
“The Iranian people and officials will not stay silent in the face of this crime, and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s powerful and legitimate response will make the enemy regret its foolish action,” he said.
Pezeshkian called on the Iranian people to preserve their unity and cohesion, avoid paying attention to rumors and false information designed as part of the enemy’s psychological warfare, and trust and accompany officials to help the country overcome these conditions as powerfully as possible.
“Today, the Iranian nation needs to stand together with unity, trust, solidarity, and consensus more than ever before.
“The nation, with the help of Almighty God and such a noble spirit, will respond to the brutal crime of the occupying regime – which today is the most hated entity among the Iranian people – in a wise, strong, and resolute manner, God willing.”
