Abdollahian: Iran Was Capable of Executing Wider Attack on Israel

The Tasnim News Agency reported on Monday that Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said Iran could have carried out a broader operation against Israel.

Also, in a phone call with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, Abdollahian said that Iran only targeted the military sites that carried out the attack against the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

He also stressed that the "security of the region is very important to us," according to the Arab World News Agency.

Iran launched its first direct attack on Israel on Saturday night using dozens of drones and cruise missiles, following the killing of a senior IRGC commander in Israel's attack that targeted the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus last week.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Thursday he believed the United States would punish the International Criminal Court for having issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister.
Israel has said it will appeal the ICC decision to move against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict.
But during a visit to the Czech Republic, Saar said other countries were also dismayed by the decision, including the United States.
"I tend to believe that in Washington, legislation is going to take place very shortly against the ICC and whoever cooperates with it," Saar told a joint press conference with Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky.
Saar added that Israel would finish the 14-month-old war in Gaza when it "achieves its objectives" of returning hostages being held by Hamas and ensuring the group no longer controls the Palestinian enclave.
