Abdollahian: Iran's Response Will Be Swift in Case Israel Undertakes Retaliatory Action

Iranian state media reported that Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian told his British counterpart today, Monday, that "Iran does not want to increase tensions, but it will respond immediately and more forcefully than before if Israel retaliates." Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel late Saturday in response to an attack on its embassy in Damascus, raising fears of a wider regional conflict as a result of the war in Gaza.
