The Times of Israel reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel’s air attack on Iran over the weekend was ‘precise and powerful’ and achieved all its goals, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that Tehran officials would determine how best to respond to the strikes.

‘We promised we would respond to the Iranian attack and on Saturday we struck… The attack in Iran was precise and powerful, achieving all of its objectives,’ Netanyahu said at a ceremony marking the Hebrew calendar anniversary of the Hamas attack on October 7 last year.

Israel launched a long-awaited retaliatory strike against Iran early Saturday, almost four weeks after the Islamic Republic’s massive ballistic missile barrage on the country, with the military saying the Israeli Air Force strikes targeted strategic military sites — specifically drone and ballistic missile manufacturing and launch sites, as well as air defense batteries…

In his first public comments since Israel’s reprisal attacks, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Tehran officials should determine how best to respond.

‘Israel made a mistake [with its attack]. They exaggerated, of course,’ Khamnei said. ‘To exaggerate about this is a mistake. But deriding this [attack] is also a mistake. To say, ‘nothing happened; it wasn’t important,’ is also a mistake.’…”
