Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said this when speaking about Iran's attack on Israel last weekend. Raisi called the action "necessary" during a speech in Damghan, in the northern province of Semnan, as reported by IRNA.
He did not comment on the attack in Esfahan attributed to Israel. "This operation demonstrated the authority of the Islamic Republic system and the power of our armed forces, as well as the iron will of the people under the leadership of the supreme leader of the revolution," Ali Khamenei said in a speech to the Iranian people in the city of Damghan in the north of the country. He was referring to the Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear plant in the town of Qom. The attack was blamed on Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. The Israeli government has denied any involvement in the attack, saying it was the work of the Iranian army and police. The Iranian military said the attack was carried out in self-defence, and that Israel was behind the attack.
