Israel's opposition leader has criticised the decision to avoid 'strategic and economic targets', saying on X that 'we could and should have exacted a much heavier price from Iran'.
Iran's president has warned against further attacks on his country after Israel targeted military sites in pre-dawn airstrikes on Saturday. In a statement on X, Masoud Pezeshkian gave his condolences to the families of the four people killed in the attacks and said Iran would continue to defend itself. 'Enemies of Iran should know these brave people are standing fearlessly in defence of their land and will respond to any stupidity with tact and intelligence,' he wrote.
Iran's foreign ministry issued a statement saying it 'considers itself entitled and obligated to defend against foreign acts of aggression'. However, late on Saturday, Iran's military issued a carefully worded statement suggesting any ceasefire in Israel's ground offensives in Gaza and Lebanon would trump any possible retaliatory strike. The country's military said the strikes targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces.
