On October 27, according to Al Jazeera, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Qalibaf, said that the Israeli attack on Iran was a failure compared to the missile attack launched by Iran on October 1, and promised that Tehran would retaliate. "The Zionist regime has achieved nothing except genocide and mass killings of defenceless children and women in Gaza, Lebanon. Today, it has no credibility in the international arena," Qalibaf said. "Within the framework of the inherent legitimate right to self-defense and Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran has the right to self-defense. The response to such violations will be certain and these rules will be observed."
