TEHRAN – Iran would intensify its attacks on Israel, and any country that attempted to defend Israel would also have its military bases targeted, said senior Iranian official on Saturday.
The Iranian official while talking to a US broadcaster made it clear that Iran has the right, under international law, to deliver a decisive response against this aggressive regime. He made it clear that any country that defends Israel against Iran’s actions would have its military bases become Iran’s next targets.
Earlier on Friday, US and Israeli sources told the American broadcaster that the US military had helped intercept missiles launched by Iran toward Israel. They said that other countries in the region supported Israel’s air defense system.
Before this, Iran launched its fourth major missile attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday.
The several missiles were fired in the latest strike, one of which hit its target in central Tel Aviv. The explosions were heard in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Earlier, Following an Israeli airstrike and Iran’s retaliatory action, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel shut their airspace as a precaution. The closure has created a domino effect in international aviation, but India has emerged as one of the hardest-hit countries.
India is facing major disruptions in its international and domestic air travel operations after rising tensions between Iran and Israel led to the closure of airspace over six Middle Eastern countries.
The sudden shutdown of air routes has particularly impacted Indian airlines, forcing widespread flight diversions and cancellations, and leaving thousands of passengers stranded or delayed.
