Iran rejected any implication in the failed attack on Saturday against the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea, in central Israel, and accused its authorities of spreading falsehoods. The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baghaei, denounced that the accusations are part of Israel's constant practice of spreading falsehoods.
Baghaei denied Iran's involvement in the launch of a drone that hit Caesarea, which was allegedly aimed at the private residence of the Israeli Prime Minister, although he and his family were not there. Netanyahu attributed the attack to the Islamic Republic, stated that Iranian agents tried to assassinate him, and assured that they made a serious mistake.
Iran's permanent mission to the UN also denied its country's responsibility for the attack, noting that Hezbollah in Lebanon could be responsible. So far, Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for the attempted attack.
Iran, a declared enemy of Israel, leads the anti-Israel alliance 'Axis of Resistance', along with Hezbollah, the Palestinian group Hamas, Yemen's Houthis, and Iraqi militias. Previously, Tehran launched missiles into Israeli territory in retaliation for previous incidents, while Israel has warned of possible more forceful reprisals.
In light of the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, the political and military authorities of both countries have assured they are prepared to respond to any aggression with greater force.
