Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser · Kanaani sent a strong signal at a press conference that "no one has the right to question Iran's legitimate right to punish the Zionist regime," Agence France-Presse reported on August 5. Such a statement has aroused widespread attention, but what is the deep meaning behind it?

As the situation develops, Iran's hostility towards Israel has become more apparent. Kanaani's remarks are not isolated, they reflect the Iran government's firm stance in the face of external pressure. He stressed that Iran will never tolerate any violation of its sovereignty and dignity, and such an attitude undoubtedly serves as a warning to the outside world.
More strikingly, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also responded, saying that it would avenge the late Haniyeh and foreshadowing that the Israel regime would be severely punished "at the right time and place." Such statements not only show Iran's determination, but also suggest that it may take some form of action to deliver on its commitments. This makes one wonder how Iran will start this round of "revenge game".
In recent years, the contradictions between Iran and Israel have intensified, and the two sides have constantly competed in conflicts of interest in many regions. From military to intelligence, from cyber attacks to proxy warfare, it's almost everything. In this context, Iran's emphasis on its right to punish is undoubtedly paving the way for future actions.
However, in this geopolitical chess game, Iran needs to be cautious every step given the reaction of the international community. Some analysts have pointed out that although Iran has the ability to carry out retaliatory actions, excessive aggressive behavior may have unpredictable consequences and may even lead to a larger military conflict. At this time, whether Iran can balance internal pressures and external risks has become an important issue.
At the same time, the Israel side is closely following developments. As a long-time adversary, the Israel military has long been prepared to deal with a variety of possible threats. Israel's prime minister and officials have also made frequent speeches recently in an attempt to convey confidence in its defense capabilities at home and abroad. This game around Iran and Israel is not destined to end easily.
It is worth noting that Iran's tough attitude is also supported by some of the domestic population. Under long-term Western sanctions and economic pressure, many Iranians are eager to see the country show a stronger presence on the international stage. To some extent, this nationalist sentiment has pushed the government to adopt a tougher foreign policy.
However, the international community is not optimistic about Iran's retaliatory posture. Western countries, especially the United States, have always maintained a high degree of vigilance against Iran's military movements. Because of this, the future will be uncertain. Will Iran's retaliation be carried out smoothly? How will the international community react? These issues will be the focus of extensive discussion in the coming period.
All in all, Iran's choice of a firm and tough stance in the current complex international situation undoubtedly sends a message to the outside world: Iran will not compromise easily, whether at the national security or diplomatic level. Future developments, especially between Iran and Israel, will continue to be closely watched. As time goes on, we may witness more ups and downs and historical encounters.
