Iran sent a message to Israel through European diplomatic channels, warning of possible reactions to retaliatory actions by the Jewish state.

As diplomatic sources report to the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, Tehran has made it clear that it may not react to a limited strike from Israel as sharply as it previously threatened.

However, Iranian authorities stressed that the situation would change if their oil or nuclear infrastructure was attacked, saying a “red line” would be crossed if such facilities were threatened.

Tensions remain high in the region following Iran’s Oct. 1 rocket attack, and expectations of a possible Israeli response are growing. According to sources, Israel has made progress in negotiations with the US administration, which has brought the likelihood of retaliatory action closer.

The transmission of the Iranian message coincided with the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Turkmenistan, where he made a statement that Iran does not seek war, but is ready to respond in the event of an attack. Pezeshkian noted that the country will defend its interests in the event of a threat.

In addition, for the first time, the United States will deploy a THAAD missile defense battery on Israeli territory. The system, similar to Israel’s Hetz system, is designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles, signaling preparations for a possible escalation of the conflict and an Iranian response.

Earlier, Kursor reported that Iran is trying to prevent an Israeli retaliatory strike.

Iran is frightened by the potential scale of Israeli retaliation.
