"Iranian President Silent on Israeli Strike Despite Vowing Complete Destruction"

Iranian President Raisi did not mention the recent Israeli strike during a speech, instead focusing on justifying Iran's own offensive attacks. Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in response to an apparent strike on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria. Despite previous threats of complete destruction, Raisi referred to the attack as limited, while boasting of Iran's authority and unity. The decision not to address Israel's retaliatory strike highlights a gap between previous rhetoric and the country's current disposition.
