In a post on his X account on Monday, Larijani said, “As in the past 300 years, Iran did not start this war and our brave armed forces have not engaged in any attacks except in defense.”
“We will fiercely defend ourselves and our six thousand years old civilization regardless of the costs and will make the enemies regret their miscalculation,” he added.
The criminal regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv started their unprovoked military assault on Iran early on Saturday. So far, at least 555 Iranian people have been killed in the terrorist airstrikes.
Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the criminal aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
