Iran claims that its inaugural direct assault on Israel served as retribution for Israel's targeting of Iranian personnel. Tehran asserts that its retaliatory actions have concluded but warns of a more severe response if Israel strikes again. Citizens of Tehran rejoiced in the streets following the Islamic Republic's launch of over 300 drones and missiles towards Israel on Saturday evening. The vast majority of these projectiles were intercepted before breaching Israeli airspace, with no reported fatalities. The celebration in Tehran commemorated Iran's first-ever direct assault on Israel, which Iranians assert was in response to the attack on their consulate in Damascus, resulting in casualties among Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps officers. This unprecedented attack from Iran involved approximately 300 explosive drones and cruise missiles, marking the first direct confrontation between Iran and its long-standing adversary. The operation also engaged proxy groups in Lebanon and Yemen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
