Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said at a press conference that by punishing Israel and deterring its adventurism, stability and security in the Middle East can be strengthened. Iran does not want tensions in the region to escalate, but no one has the right to doubt Iran's right to punish Israel. Iran will take "serious" measures to form the necessary deterrence against Israel, and the foreign ministers of the member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will hold a meeting in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to discuss related issues.
