Tehran's response to Israel's countermeasures to be swift, comprehensive

Ankara, Apr 16 (UNI) Tehran does not seek escalation in the region, but Iran's response to countermeasures by Israel will be swift and comprehensive, Iranian Ambassador to Turkey Mohammad Hassan Habibollahzadeh said on Tuesday.

"The strike by Iran [targeting Israel] was necessary, proportionate, and directed only at the military targets used in the terrorist attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. The Iranian armed forces did not strike economic centres or civilian population centers. The purpose of the operation was to send a clear message to the other side. Iran does not seek to escalate the conflict in the region. Therefore, after the operation, Iran said that the issue is closed for it, but if the Zionist regime takes countermeasures, its response will be swift and comprehensive," the ambassador was quoted as saying by Turkish newspaper Aydinlik.
