Tehran summoned the German and Austrian ambassadors on Thursday after their governments criticized the Islamic Republic of Iran for its retaliatory missile attack on the Israeli regime

Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in response to the “unacceptable measures” by Germany and Austria in summoning the Iranian envoys over a retaliatory missile attack on the Israeli regime.

Iran’s foreign ministry in a statement said that the attack was a “legitimate, responsible and effective response in punishing the aggressor the Israeli regime.”

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday evening launched around 200 missiles at Occupied territories code-named "True Promise".

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the attack was in retaliation for the martyrdom of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah alongside Tehran’s Quds Force commander Abbas Nilforoushan, as well as Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was also martyred in a July bombing in Tehran.

Also on Thursday, foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei condemned “the continued biased and irresponsible approach” of the G7 group.

He also condemned the group’s call for further sanctions against Tehran, saying the attack was a “necessary response” to Israel’s “aggressive actions.”

Germany's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday summoned Iran’s diplomat in the country over Tehran’s retaliatory missile attack on the Israeli regime.

Also, the Austrian Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador in Vienna.
