TEHRAN (Sputnik) - On the evening of October 1, Iran launched a massive missile strike on Israeli military bases, claiming the attack was in retaliation for the assassinations of Palestine's Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Lebanon's Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, and Iran's IRGC General Abbas Nilforoushan.
Tehran does not intend to continue to strike Tel Aviv, but if Israel takes any action against Iran, the response will be tougher, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday.
"We do not intend to continue the attacks. If Israel takes any more steps against Iran, our actions will be tougher, and we will definitely respond. Our response will be proportionate and absolutely calculated," Araghchi told a press conference in Lebanon, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
