Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter delivered a forceful warning following Iran’s latest missile barrage against Israel, declaring that no sovereign nation would accept such an attack without responding.

“Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today,” Leiter said. “Each one of those missiles has the potential to level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds of people. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an assault, and neither will Israel.”

According to Leiter, Israel is now striking Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites as well as additional strategic infrastructure targets.

The ambassador also issued a direct warning to Hezbollah, noting that the Lebanese people have increasingly rejected Iran’s influence and its proxy in their country.

“The people of Lebanon have told Iran and Hezbollah to get out,” Leiter said. “If Hezbollah chooses to open another front against Israel, its command centers in Beirut’s Dahiya district will be hit hard.”

Leiter concluded by stressing that the conflict is not with the Iranian people, but with what he described as a dangerous regime that continues to destabilize the region.

“Everyone has had enough of this maniacal Iranian regime,” he said.
