The Iranian Military Asserts Readiness to Counter any Potential Israeli Aggression
The tension between Iran and Israel continues to escalate, with both sides exchanging threats of retaliation following Iran’s recent attack on Israel. Speaking at the yearly army parade, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi reaffirmed that Iran would respond “massively and harshly” to even the “tiniest attack” by Israel.

This warning coincides with worries that the Middle East could break out into a full-scale conflict. Iran’s direct attack on Israel, named “True Promise,” has prompted Israel to pledge a response, despite international calls for restraint. The UK’s foreign minister, visiting Israel, suggested that Israel has decided to “act” in response to the attack.
Raisi’s Caution Underscores the Readiness of the Iranian Military
Iran’s strike on Israel was welcomed by Raisi, who also reiterated threats of a “strong and fierce response.” He also criticised countries normalising relations with Israel, calling them “ashamed before their nations.”
As tensions mount, fears of further escalation persist, with Israel’s allies urging restraint while the Iranian military officials warn of swift retaliation. Iran has also announced preparations, including deploying warships in the Red Sea to escort commercial shipping, amid disruptions caused by attacks from Yemen’s Houthi group.
Both sides are waiting for developments and getting ready for possible military action, so the situation is still tight and has the potential to worsen even further.
