Iranian President: We will respond more strongly and harshly if the Zionist entity responds to us

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned on Wednesday that the response would be stronger and more severe if the Zionist entity responded to Iranian missile attacks.

Pezeshkian said in a joint press conference with the Emir of Qatar in Doha: “The Zionist entity pushed us to respond after targeting our guest, escalating the situation in Lebanon, and continuing attacks in Gaza.”

He added: “The security of the region is the security of all Muslims, and we do not look forward to war, but we look forward to peace and calm, and destabilizing security in the region is not in the interest of the Europeans and the United States.”

He continued: “They asked us to wait in responding to the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh in Tehran to give a chance for negotiations.”
