TEHRAN, Apr. 16 (MNA) – The spokesman of the Iranian Parliament National Security Commission says that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to use a weapon it has never used before in case of any Israeli aggression.

Calling on the Zionists to behave rationally, Abolfazl Amouei in an interview for a media outlet stressed, "We are ready to use a weapon that we have not used so far. We have plans for all scenarios. In this regard, we will behave rationally and courageously."

Saying that Iran's response to Israel was legitimate, the senior Iranian lawmaker underlined that Iran does not want tension to flare in the region. "It is Israel's crimes in Gaza that are destabilizing (the region)."

"Our message is peace and at the same time preparedness," he added.

Amouei also stressed that the best kind of assistance that the US can provide to Israel, is to stop the regime's attacks.

In response to the Israeli terrorist attack on Iran's consulate building in Syria on April 1, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked targets in occupied Palestine with dozens of drones and missiles early on Sunday.

The Israeli regime attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on April 1. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.

Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred following the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus.
