"Iranian Foreign Minister Mocks Israeli Weapons as 'Toys' Amid Tensions"

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian dismissed the recent attack on Iran as insignificant and mocked the weapons used as "toys." He warned that Iran would respond with maximum force if Israel engages in further "adventurism," but also indicated that Iran was not planning to escalate the conflict unless Israel launches a significant attack. The recent cycle of violence between the two countries began with an Israeli bombing of an Iranian consular building in Damascus, followed by an Iranian military attack on Israel, and a subsequent Israeli strike on a military airfield in central Iran. Both sides, along with U.S. officials, have called for calm to prevent further escalation.
