According to their information, the Iranian side received information according to which the efforts of regional and international players who tried to convince Israel to abandon retaliatory measures against Tehran were unsuccessful.
The publication's interlocutors do not specify which facilities in Iran may come under attack. At the same time, according to sources, Tehran does not rule out an attack by the Israeli armed forces on targets of pro-Iranian formations in Iraq, and therefore representatives of the Islamic Republic advised Baghdad to “take precautions.”
On the evening of October 1, Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel in response to the killings of key individuals in the leadership of the Palestinian Hamas movement, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Armed Forces). Tehran said 90% of the missiles successfully hit their intended targets, but Israel says Iran launched about 180 missiles and most were intercepted. The Israeli General Staff promised to respond to the attack. For his part, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that his country's retaliatory strikes against Israel in this case would be even more widespread.
