Iran told the US that its attacks against Israel will be “limited” and in self-defense, according to Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

The foreign minister made his remarks during a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Tehran on Sunday.

He also said Iran informed its neighbors of the retaliatory strikes 72 hours in advance.

“About 72 hours prior to our operations, we informed our friends and neighbors in the region that Iran’s response against Israel was certain, legitimate, and irrevocable,” he stated.

Iran called upon the ambassadors of France, Britain, and Germany to Tehran on Sunday to address their reactions to Iran’s recent missile and drone strike on Israel.

Iranian commander Mohammed Bagheri said earlier that the country’s attacks on Israel have concluded and Tehran will not launch further assaults.
