He also warned that Iran’s response to any act of aggression against Tehran “will be swift, decisive and stronger than before.”

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the UN Security Council, at the request of France and Israel, has scheduled an emergency meeting on the worsening situation in the Middle East for Wednesday at 10:00 (17:00 Moscow time).
