Raisi: Iran's strike was aimed at containing Israel
To be fair, they have to try. Israel’s nukes work.
Iran struck Israel to contain it and also in response to the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi said on April 17, speaking in Tehran on the occasion of National Army Day. This was reported by Press TV.

“If the Zionist regime commits the slightest act of aggression on our soil, it will receive a violent and severe response,” he added.

Raisi emphasized that Iran's strike was incomplete and limited in nature. He also condemned countries seeking to normalize relations with Israel. The President called on Middle Eastern countries to rely on their resources and on cooperation with Muslim countries.

As Regnum reported, Iran launched a massive attack on Israel on the night of April 14, launching more than 200 missiles and drones. This was a response to the attack on the Iranian Consulate General in Damascus, which the Israeli Air Force carried out on April 1, killing, among other things, two generals of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the Financial Times, Israel spent more than $1 billion to repel Iran's attack.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov on April 17, commenting on the deterioration of Iranian-Israeli relations, said that Moscow is in contact with both sides. He stressed that the Kremlin is calling on Israel and Iran to de-escalate the conflict.
