TEHRAN (Sputnik) – Tehran is ready to guarantee the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, but against its «zeroing», Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday.

If Israel continues conducting strikes on the Iranian territory Tehran will retaliate with more devastating blows, Pezeshkian said.

«If the aggression of the Israeli regime continues, Tehran will give a more crushing and decisive response,» Pezeshkian said.

Israel launched a large-scale operation against Iran, Rising Lion, in the early hours of June 13, accusing it of implementing a secret military nuclear program. The Israeli air force carried out several waves of attacks across Iran, including in Tehran, killing a few senior Iranian military officials, as well as several nuclear scientists. A few nuclear sites, including Natanz and Fordow, were also hit.
