"The timing, conditions, and manner of Iran’s response will be meticulously orchestrated to ensure that it occurs at a moment of maximum surprise; perhaps when their eyes are fixed on the skies and their radar screens, they will be taken by surprise from the ground—or perhaps even by a combination of both," the Iranian mission said in a statement. Iran's retaliation will be "carefully calibrated to avoid any possible adverse impact that could potentially influence a prospective ceasefire" in Gaza, the mission said. The response is intended to induce "profound regret" within the Israeli government, the statement said. Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated after the political chief of the Palestinian movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in late July while he was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony for Iran's new president. Tehran called the assassination an act of terrorism and an infringement upon Iran's national sovereignty, vowing to retaliate.
