Iranian officials have said their response to Israel’s attack on their Damascus consulate will be precise and limited. And that is what we have seen this evening in the operation dubbed “True Promise” by the Revolutionary Guard.
I think we’ve seen the worst of what was to come from Iran. It’s certainly not a full-on attack. And certainly a show of what Iran is capable of. These are scenes we’ve never seen before – Iranian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones launched at Israel.
According to state TV, the Iranian projectiles hit military targets successfully, but that, of course, has been disputed by Israel.
Now, we begin the next phase of this saga. That is what the Israeli response will be. And for that reason, the Revolutionary Guard remains on high alert and has issued words of warning to Israel.
We heard a commander on state TV saying that any kind of response from Israel will be met [with] a harsher response. For now, Iranians are waiting to see what Israel will do and whether… they will be able to maintain this conflict where it currently stands without escalating things further.
