According to a New York Post report, Iran is threatening a “painful response” if Israel retaliates to the hundreds of missiles and drone strikes launched at the Iron Dome over the weekend.
From The New York Post:
Iran is reportedly getting a terrifying arsenal from Russia, including anti-aircraft launchers and fighter jets — and is threatening to fire weapons it has never before used in “a severe, extensive and painful response” to the “slightest action” by Israel.
Abolfazl Amouei, a spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee, told a local news station Monday that the Islamic Republic “will confront any Israeli aggression and respond to it.”
“We are ready to use weapons that we have not used before,” the official told Al-Mayadeen News, according to the Economic Times.
“We have plans for all scenarios, and we call on the Zionists to act rationally.”
Separately, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned Israel that if it takes even the “slightest action,” it will face “a severe, extensive and painful response.”
“The blind support of some Western countries to the Zionist regime is the cause of tension in the region,” he claimed, according to the Daily Express.
“We will respond in a massive, broad and painful manner to the slightest action targeting Iranian interests.”
The threats come after years of the international community worrying about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
The Islamic Republic has several nuclear research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor and three uranium enrichment plants, the Daily Mail reports.
Meanwhile, President Biden continues to abandon our greatest ally in the Middle East; he has signaled to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. will not support a strike against Iran.

Putin behind this all to take world attention away from the way hes trying to take ukraine. Pure evil
Perhaps Israel should send Ukraine a nuke or two to implement as they see fit?
(No, I’m not being serious, but Putin would richly deserve it.)
It is well known that we compare the nation of Russia to a “bear”; it should be even more well known that our Sacred Torah Literature, in Sefer Doniel and in Divrei Chazal, the nation of Poras – Persia, is compared to a bear. It is certainly well known that the current day country of Iran is the current day continuation of the ancient country of Persia. Regarding a certain issue with Russia, in order to stress the urgent absolute crucial extreme caution needed in dealing with them, Rav Avigdor Miller, ZT’L, remarked that a bear has a tail, but, he also has teeth.
The current day Iran has a military that is extremely powerful, probably more than that of the State of Israel and, in certain ways, maybe even a little bit more than that of the United States. The current day Russia has a military that is certainly, extremely, extremely powerful, many, many times more than that of the State of Israel and, certainly in certain ways, probably quite a good bit more than that of the United States.
Right at the start of Iran’s massive air barrage attack, Russia warned that any attempt to fight back at Iran would automatically also mean trying to fight back at them. So, there obviously is here the “teeth” of TWO very big bears; we obviously need to be extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY careful.
