Tehran, Iran - November 04, 2024 Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, said on Monday that Tehran will use all available means and resources to respond to Israeli attacks on military targets in Iran. Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, the Iranian capital, Baghaei stated that Iran's response would be "clear and decisive." Iran also condemned the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, describing it as a threat to regional stability amid rising tensions. The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that B-52 bombers had arrived in the Middle East. It is the first time that B-52s have deployed to a base in the region since 2019 and widely seen as deterrence against potential Iranian retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on its territory last month. Baghaei also emphasized that Iran will continue to firmly support the Palestinian people and appreciates any efforts by the international community to end Israel's criminal actions.
