Iran's UN mission early on Sunday indicated they could consider their attack on Israel and an adequate response to the Israeli attack on Damascus and the killing of senior members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC) .
"Iran's military action was in response to Israel's aggression against Iran's diplomatic premises in Damascus," Iran's mission to the U.N. posted on X.
""The matter can be deemed concluded. Should Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more sever."
