The Islamic Republic of Iran has warned the west to stop supporting Israel or it would be forced to hit harder.
Iran particularly warned America, Britain, France and Germany that it not accept aggression from Israel or its supporters.
According to the spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei on Monday, Iran does not want to expand the war but “aggression from Israel or its supporters will be met with a stronger response than before.”
“We do not seek to expand the war, but we will cut off every hand that attacks our country. Any aggression from Israel or its supporters will be met with a stronger response than before.

“We are not advocates of war and we call on America, Britain, France and Germany to stop supporting Israel. Our response showed part of our strength, and our missiles and marches crossed the Iron Dome,” Khamanei said.
Last week, Iran President, Ebrahim Raisi had stated the reason that his country attacked Israel.
“The Iranian armed forces taught the Zionist enemy a lesson. Any new reckless response from the enemy will be met with a stronger and harsher response.
“The defensive action carried out by the armed forces is a natural right to legitimate defense of our country in response to the zionist aggression on our interests.
“Last night’s combined operations carry a message of strength and power to the Islamic nation and a message of fear and humiliation to the enemies of humanity.

“Iran has used all regional and international capabilities in recent months to warn the international community of the ineffectiveness of the Security Council,” he had said.
In a similar vein, Iran Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said his country’s attacks against Israel will be “limited” and for self-defense.
“Attacking military bases in the Zionist entity is a legitimate defense guaranteed by the United Nations Charter.
“We affirm Iran’s determination to firmly defend the country’s sovereignty, unity, and national interests in the face of any aggression.
“We will not hesitate to take further defensive measures to preserve our interests in the face of any aggression.
“Our resort to defensive measures in exercising the right to self-defence proves our responsible approach to regional security,” he said.
