Iran President warns Israel against any hostile action

Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi warned that the armed forces would not let Israel rest if it took action targeting the Islamic republic.

The remark came on Monday, as the Iranian military displayed home-grown weapons and defence systems marking National Army Day.

“You must know that if you try to take any action against the Iranian nation, our armed forces will not leave you in peace,” Raisi said.

Last month, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, the military’s ideological arm, said it fired a dozen ballistic missiles at a strategic site in Arbil, the capital of Iraq’s autonomous northern Kurdistan region, claiming they were being used by Israel.

However, Arbil governor Oumid Khouchnaw dismissed as baseless the presence of Israeli sites in and around the city.
“There are no Israeli sites in the region,” he said.
