The Iranian foreign minister, Hossein Amir-abdollahian, said on Friday that Iran will respond at an immediate and “maximum level” if Israel acts against its interests, according to Reuters.

If Israel wants to do another adventurism and acts against the interests of Iran, our next response will be immediate and will be at the maximum level.
