The Supreme National Security Council of Iran has issued a statement on the “national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy and its vile supporters”, Al Jazeera reports.

Iran’s armed forces delivered a “humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy’s cruelty”, it said, adding that it culminated in the attack on the US base in Qatar last night and dawn missile strikes on Israel.

The council said Tehran responded to attacks on its territory in a proportional and timely manner, and “forced the enemy into regret and accepting defeat and the unilateral cessation of its aggression”.

“The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, without any trust to the words of the enemy and with their hands on the trigger, are ready to deliver a decisive and deterring response to any violating act by the enemy”.
