Iran's military officials warn Israel and US against retaliation
Iran warned
Israel on Sunday of a larger attack on its territory should it retaliate
against
Tehran's overnight drone and missile attack, adding that US bases wouldbe
targeted if Washington backs any Israeli military action against Iran.
Iran
launched explosive drones and fired missiles at Israel late on Saturday in its
first direct
attack on Israeli territory, a retaliatory strike against Israel's bombing of
its consulate in Syria's capital on April 1 that killed seven members of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."Our response will be much larger than
tonight's military action if Israel retaliates against Iran," armed forces
chief of staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri told state TV, adding that Tehran
warned Washington via Switzerland that any backing of Israeli retaliation
against Iran would result in US regional bases being targeted.
"Our
operations are over and we have no intention to continue them," Bagheri
said, before claiming that Iran's attack had successfully targeted two Israeli
military bases.
Addressing Iranian state TV, the commander of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami, said Tehran had
entered a new equation in which any Israeli attack on its interests, assets,
officials or citizens would be reciprocated from its own territory.
