In defiance of US warnings against retaliatory strikes on Israel after its attacks on Iran last week, Iran is signaling plans for a complex response with more advanced weaponry, Iranian and Arab officials with knowledge of the strategy told American media on Sunday, November 3.
Iran has informed Arab diplomats that its conventional military will be involved in the response because four soldiers and a civilian were lost in Israel’s attack, according to Iranian and Arab officials.
An Egyptian official reported that Iran privately warned of a “strong and complex” response. “Our military lost people, so they need to respond,” said an Iranian official quoted by the American news outlet.
He suggested that Iran might use Iraqi territory in its response and is likely to target Israeli military facilities “but much more aggressively than last time.”
Iran does not intend to limit its response to missiles and drones, as in previous confrontations. Any missiles used in this operation would be equipped with more powerful warheads, said Iranian and Arab officials.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei wrote on X/Twitter on Saturday: “Today, the Zionist regime is committing the most atrocious crimes in West Asia… The United States of America and the Zionist regime will definitely receive a crushing response for what they do against #Iran and the #Resistance Front.” (INN /VFI News)
“Lord, we pray for protection from Iran and all its proxies. We pray that their plans will fail and that they will not be able to harm our civilians, soldiers, and infrastructure. In Yeshua’s name, we pray for a miracle, for all the enemies to realize the futility of their plans, and stop their vile actions. May peace return to the Middle East and may we all live in Your truth for the rest of our days, truly loving You above all and our neighbor as ourselves.”
