Netanyahu says Israel hit Iran hard; Iran’s supreme leader says damage should not be exaggerated

Thank God for Iran self control because Israel has none – Mark

Jerusalem: Israel’s airstrikes “hit hard” Iran’s defences and missile production, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, but Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the damage from Saturday’s attack should not be exaggerated.
“The air force attacked throughout Iran. We hit hard Iran’s defence capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that are aimed at us,” Netanyahu said in a speech, calling the attack “precise and powerful” and saying it met all its objectives.
With warfare raging in Gaza and Lebanon, direct confrontation between Israel and Iran risks spiralling into a regional conflagration. But a day after the airstrikes, there was no sign they would spark another round of escalation.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told the United Nations Secretary-General on Sunday it reserves the right to respond to Israel’s “criminal aggression” and called for an urgent meeting.

“They’re making a miscalculation with respect to Iran,” he said in comments published on his website.
