Iran's president threatens 'massive and harsh' response if Israel launches 'tiniest' attack

Speaking at the annual Army Day parade, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi said that the "tiniest invasion" by Israel would bring a "massive and harsh" response from his country, as Israel insists on retaliating for Iran's drones and missiles attack over the weekend.

Iran's offensive came as a response to a reported Israeli strike on the country's consulate in Damascus, Syria, which killed several Iranian officers including top commanders.

The Army Day parade typically takes place on a highway in Tehran's southern outskirts, outside Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's mausoleum. It was relocated to a military base east of the capital this year due to security concerns.
