The Iranian commander added that the decision to conduct the retaliatory operation was taken by all officials and was approved by the Supreme National Security Council, and with the support of President Masoud Pezeshkian, and under guidance and approval by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Iran conducted the operation on October 1, launching some 200 ballistic missiles on Israeli military and security positions.
