Khamenei aide warns against impulsive Iran response to Israel attack

An adviser to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned against launching an "instinctive" response to Israeli air strikes on the Islamic republic last month.

Israel, Iran's sworn enemy, is engaged in conflicts with the Iran-backed Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes struck military sites in Iran on October 26 in retaliation for a large Iranian missile attack on Israel at the start of the month.

"Israel aims to bring the conflict to Iran. We must act wisely to avoid its trap and not react instinctively," the adviser, Ali Larijani, told state television late Thursday.

Iran said it fired 200 missiles at Israel on October 1 in response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on Beirut and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh while he was in Tehran.

After Israel hit back, it warned Iran against any counterattack, but the Islamic republic has vowed to respond.

"Our actions and reactions are strategically defined, so we must avoid instinctive or emotional responses and remain entirely rational," Larijani added.

The former parliament speaker also praised Nasrallah for accepting a ceasefire during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war rather than making an "emotional decision".

On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said a potential ceasefire between Tehran's allies and Israel could affect Iran's response to the Israeli strikes.
