L’Iran toughened his tone by asserting that he had “ the right and duty to respond to Israeli aggression “. This press release from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was published while in the morning the tone was rather one of restraint.
Several Iranian officials had claimed that the anti-aircraft defense system had come into action and succeeded in intercepting the Israeli missiles and that the damage was minor.
During the night, the sounds of six strong explosions and fire from anti-aircraft systems were heard in the Tehran region.

No details were given on the intended targets, but state television showed images of car traffic in Tehran and interviewed passers-by who say life is normal.
In a sign of relief, the Iranian rial strengthened against the dollar after having weakened over the past two weeks. The population therefore fears an Iranian response to the attack carried out by Israel and new Israeli strikes, which could cause a dangerous spiral between the two countries.
