Iran will retaliate against Israeli attack on energy sector – source to RT --[Reported by Umva mag]

Tehran is ready to defend itself and to respond proportionally to any aggression, the source added

Iran is fully prepared to defend itself and retaliate against any potential attack by Israel, including on its oil and nuclear facilities, a source in Tehran familiar with the matter told RT on Thursday.

Retaliation against a potential attack will be proportionate and based on domestic and international norms. For instance, should Israel target Iran’s oil infrastructure, Tehran will in response strike three main oil refineries in that country, the source explained.

Attacks on other infrastructure, such as power plants or nuclear facilities will likewise prompt retaliatory strikes on respective installations in Israel, the source added.

In the event that any civilians are harmed in a potential attack or that civilian areas are targeted, Tehran will be prompted to revise its nuclear doctrine, the individual told RT, without elaborating.

Fears of a looming Israeli attack on Iran come after Tehran fired a massive ballistic missile against the country on October 1. Iran said the attack was in retaliation for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian group Hamas, who was killed in Tehran in July, and for the killing last month of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon. The country warned Israel against taking any retaliatory steps, warning that this would only prompt a further exchange of strikes.

Branding the attack “aggressive but inaccurate,” Israel has vowed a decisive response to it.

“Our attack will be deadly, pinpoint accurate, and most importantly, surprising – they will not know what happened or how it happened. They will just see the results,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has warned.
