In a recent interview with American television channel NBC News, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahian dismissed the recent attack on Isfahan as insignificant, stating that the drones involved were akin to children's toys. The remarks come amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, with speculations abound regarding Israel's involvement in the incident.
Amir Abdullahian further emphasized that Iran is conducting an investigation into the matter and cautioned against premature conclusions. He warned of swift and decisive retaliation if Israel were to take any action against Iran that harmed its interests, affirming Iran's commitment to defending its sovereignty.
Addressing the upcoming US elections, Abdullahian asserted that Iran's stance towards the United States would be contingent upon the behavior of the US government. He emphasized the importance of respecting Iran's sovereignty and geographical integrity in fostering bilateral relations.
The recent exchange of hostilities between Iran and Israel traces back to April 1 when Israel launched an attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, resulting in casualties, including high-ranking military officials. In response, Iran vowed retaliation, culminating in a drone and missile attack on Israel on April 13.
While several US sources claim Israeli involvement in a subsequent attack on Iranian territory, Iran maintains that the nature of the attack remains uncertain and refutes any conclusive evidence implicating Israel. The situation underscores the fragile dynamics and heightened tensions prevailing in the region.
