❗️Iran's Ministry of Defense:
"The illegitimate and criminal Zionist regime once again revealed its vile and inhumane nature in the early hours of this morning, committing a blatant atrocity through a cowardly attack on a residential complex on the sacred soil of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In this brutal act—completely contrary to all international laws—a number of innocent civilians, including women and children, as well as several commanders of the armed forces and scientists of this land, were martyred. The child-killing regime has thus exposed its wicked essence more clearly than ever.
The Ministry of Defense, while extending its condolences to the great nation of Iran and the esteemed families of the honored martyrs, declares that the powerful hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran—under the directives of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and with the support of the people—is prepared to deliver a severe and exemplary punishment. The Zionist regime will undoubtedly pay the full price for this crime."

"To the great nation of Iran:
This morning, the Zionist regime stained its filthy and blood-soaked hands with a crime on our soil, revealing its vile nature more clearly than ever by targeting residential areas. The regime must now await a severe punishment.
By God’s will, the powerful hand of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not let it go unanswered.
In the enemy’s attack, a number of commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately carry out their duties, God willing.
With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself—and it will surely face it.
Sayyed Ali Khamenei
13 June 2025."
