Iran says it will ‘use all available tools’ to respond to Israel’s attack

Iran has stated that it will use all available tools to respond to recent Israeli military strikes on Iranian targets. The impact of Israel’s air attack on Saturday was initially downplayed by Iran, but U.S. President Joe Biden has called for an end to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Iran’s response will be based on the specifics of the Israeli attack, as stated by the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei advised Iranian officials to effectively showcase Iran’s strength to Israel. The Israeli military reported conducting airstrikes near Tehran and in western Iran. Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas in their conflicts with Israel.
