President Raisi warns of stronger response to future provocations against Iran

TEHRAN- Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has issued a stern warning, saying that any further provocative actions against Iran will be met with a forceful and regrettable response. 

The statement follows a recent operation by the Iranian Armed Forces (codenamed Truthful Promise Operation), which was executed in retaliation to the Zionist regime's aggressive actions, including an attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1. 

In a message to the Iranian people on Sunday, President Raisi praised the efforts of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) and emphasized the unity among Iran's defense and political sectors in delivering a decisive blow to the Zionist enemy, marking a significant moment in Iran's history of sovereignty.

Iran launched retaliatory attacks against the occupied territories, after the Israeli regime struck the country's embassy in Damascus on April 1, killing 7 high-ranking military officials.

Israeli reports say Iran fired three waves of drones at Israeli positions, as well as a number of cruise missiles. Footage captured by citizens in Iraq, suggests Iran's famous Shahed-136 drones were among the UAVs launched at the occupied territories. 

Iran also confirmed it has begun its retaliation against Israel through a TV announcement. 

"In response to various crimes of the Zionist regime, including the attack on the Iranian consulate section in Damascus and the martyrdom of some of our country's military commanders and advisors in Syria, the IRGC's Air Force targeted specific objectives inside the occupied territories by hitting them with dozens of missiles and drones," a news anchor said, reading a statement by the Islamic Revolution Gaurd Corps (IRGC).
