Iran warned Israel on Sunday of a larger attack on its territory should it retaliate against Tehran\u2019s overnight drone and missile attack, adding that U.S. bases would be targeted if Washington backs any Israeli military action against Iran.
\nIran launched explosive drones and fired missiles at Israel late on Saturday in its first direct attack on Israeli territory, a retaliatory strike against Israel\u2019s bombing of its consulate in Syria\u2019s capital on April 1 that killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
\n\u201cOur response will be much larger than tonight\u2019s military action if Israel retaliates against Iran,\u201d armed forces chief of staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri told state TV, adding that Tehran warned Washington via Switzerland that any backing of Israeli retaliation against Iran would result in U.S. regional bases being targeted.
\n\u201cOur operations are over and we have no intention to continue them,\u201d Bagheri said, before claiming that Iran\u2019s attack had successfully targeted two Israeli military bases.
\nAddressing Iranian state TV, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami, said Tehran had entered a new equation in which any Israeli attack on its interests, assets, officials or citizens would be reciprocated from its own territory.
