News - Middle East: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vows a “legitimate and powerful” response to the enemy that will make it regret its preposterous action.

"The people of Iran and the country's officials will not remain silent in the face of this crime, and the legitimate and powerful response of the Islamic Republic of Iran will make the enemy regret their foolish actions,” Pezeshkian said in a message to the Iranian people on Friday following the Israeli regime's assassination of senior military commanders, scientists and civilians.

Pezeshkian called on the Iranian people not to heed the enemy’s psychological warfare and boost their unity with officials instead.

"Today, the people of Iran need to be more united, trusting, harmonious, convergent and reconciliatory more than ever, and with the help of the Almighty God, … they will give a crushing, wise and powerful response to the crime of the occupying regime,” the president emphasized.

He added that Israel’s barbaric act runs counter to all international regulations and is indicative of the criminal nature of the illegitimate Zionist regime, whose existence is based on occupation, aggression and the killing of children.

Pezeshkian said Iran has made its utmost efforts to promote peace and tranquility in the region and the world and demonstrated its full readiness to hold long and confidence-building negotiations.

At the same time, he emphasized, Iran will take a decisive measure in response to the aggression and in legitimate defense of the country's integrity.

The president assured the Iranian nation that his administration will continue to serve it with all its power and that no disruption will be caused in this regard.
