Iranian Supreme Leader adviser and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohsen Rezaei, said Iran’s missile attack on Israel was a response to violations of the ceasefire and attacks on Lebanon, warning that any further escalation would be met with a stronger response.

In a post on X on Monday, Rezaei said Iran “repeatedly stated that it will not tolerate violations of the ceasefire and aggression against Lebanon”.

“Tonight, the aggressors received their response,” he said. “This response is a warning to stop their evil; any new action will be met with a more crushing response and heavier costs,” he added.
