"The scale of the devastating response by Iran's brave fighters will certainly encompass all parts of the occupied territories (Israel)," said Colonel Reza Sayyad, a spokesman for the armed forces.

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, during an interview with Fox News, stated that the country would continue their military campaign against Iran in order to dismantle their nuclear facilities which pose a threat to them and their allies.
"We're geared to do whatever is necessary to achieve our dual aim, to remove ... Two existential threats - the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat," Netanyahu said.
He added, “We did act - to save ourselves, but also, I think, to not only protect ourselves, but protect the world from this incendiary regime. We can't have the world's most dangerous regime have the world's most dangerous weapons.”
