The head of the Iranian parliament's national security commission, Ebrahim Azizi, stated that more than '90 percent' of the ballistic missiles launched at Israel 'hit their target' while speaking in an interview in Tehran on Wednesday, adding that the retaliatory attack could have 'come earlier'.
"In the 'True Promise' operation, we proved we fight the war with honour, and we follow the principles of war," Azizi said. "While the Zionist regime tries to target women, children, hospitals, displaced people, defenceless people, we hit military centres."
The Iranian diplomat said that Tehran sees Tuesday night's attack as its 'legitimate right' and warned that a further escalation from Israel would 'get a much serious response'.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement on Wednesday night stating that after a period of restraint following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan, the Iranian Air Force fired dozens of ballistic missiles at significant military and security targets in the centre of Israel.
Israeli media reported hundreds of missiles incoming, while the Israeli Defence Forces warned residents to enter 'protected spaces' after sounding sirens across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
It came after Israel began a 'limited and targeted' ground incursion into Lebanon on Tuesday morning, following a week-long campaign of airstrikes in the south of the country.
The Iranian attack on Israel was denounced by US President Joe Biden, US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
The Israeli army assassinated Nasrallah along with Nilforoushan in an intensive airstrike in the southern suburb of Beirut last Friday.
Haniyeh was killed in Tehran at the end of July. Iran accused Israel of responsibility for his death without any official comment from Israel on this accusation.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pledged to retaliate for Haniyeh's killing and denounced Nasrallah's assassination, stating that "the fate of this region will be decided by the resistance forces, with Hezbollah at the forefront."
