WASHINGTON – Iran on Monday said that it reserves the right respond “legally and legitimately” to an earlier Israeli attack on multiple targets in three of its provinces.
General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces in a statement on the Iranian army’s public relations website said that Israeli aircraft launched “long-range air-launched missiles armed with very light warheads” fired early Saturday in the border areas of the western province of Ilam, the southwestern province of Khuzestan and around Tehran, media reported.
It added that the missile had inflicted “limited and ineffective” damage to several Iranian radar systems. Iran’s air defence also intercepted a “significant” number of the missiles and prevented the enemy’s aircraft from entering Iranian airspace.
The Israel Defense Forces said early that it launched “precise and targeted” airstrikes on targets in several areas in Iran in response to the attacks from Iran in recent months.
Iran fired 180 missiles at Israeli targets on October 1.
