00:00 The Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Friday that Iran will respond to an
00:07 immediate and maximum level if Israel acts against its interests.
00:12 Amir-Abdollahian said, speaking through an interpreter, "If Israel wants to do another
00:17 adventurism and act against the interests of Iran, our next response will be immediate
00:22 and will be at the maximum level."
00:25 His comments follow reports of an Israeli strike on Iran early Friday.
00:29 Additionally, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that Tehran was investigating the overnight
00:32 attack on the country, adding that so far a link to Israel had not been proven as he
00:37 downplayed the strike.
00:39 He added that Iran was investigating the matter but that media reports were not accurate.
00:43 Amir-Abdollahian said that the drones reportedly fired by Israel at the Iranian city of Isfahan
00:48 did not cause any damage or casualties.
00:52 Iranian media and officials described a small number of explosions, which they said resulted
00:56 from air defences hitting three drones over Isfahan in central Iran in the early hours
01:01 of Friday.
01:02 They referred to the incident as an attack by infiltrators rather than by Israel, obviating
01:07 the need for retaliation.
01:09 Amir-Abdollahian warned that if Israel retaliated and acted against the interests of Iran, Tehran's
01:15 next response would be immediate and at the maximum level.
01:18 Meanwhile, several people were wounded in a bombing overnight Friday on an Iraqi military
01:23 base housing pro-Iranian paramilitaries, two security sources said.
01:27 The explosion hit the Qalso base, where former pro-Iranian paramilitary group Hashrath al-Shaabi,
01:33 now integrated into the regular army, are stationed.
01:36 The Ministry of Interior official said that the attack had killed one person and wounded
01:40 eight others, while the military source reported three Iraqi military personnel had been wounded.
01:45 There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
