Calls for restraint after Israeli raids on 'Iranians' in Syria
Israel attacked dozens of suspected Iranian targets in Syria in overnight strikes that it said were in response to an Iranian rocket barrage.
Russian media on Friday were actively circulating a video released by the Israeli military which showed an Israeli missile destroying one such system - a Russian-made Pantsir S-1 air defense battery - on Thursday in Syria. From Russia's perspective, Iran is an uncontrollable and increasingly irrational ally, especially the IRGC and the al-Quds force operating on Syrian territory. "However, we said that after the strikes [by the US, France and the United Kingdom on Syria], Russia reserves the right to do whatever it deems necessary", Peskov explained.
But the chairman of Iran's parliamentary committee on foreign affairs condemned Israel for carrying out the strikes in Syria.
Liberman underscored that Israel was not seeking an escalation with Tehran. The Fajr-5 is a larger Iranian-produced missile (333mm) that is based on a Chinese model.
He rejected an idea of compensating German companies who lose Iranian business due to new sanctions, and companies themselves must make "whichever decision is right in their individual cases" in continuing business with Iran.
Israel has repeatedly warned it considers an entrenched Iranian military presence in war-ravaged Syria to be a unsafe red line.
At the same time, the government said it has tasked the president of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran with "taking all necessary steps in preparation for Iran to pursue industrial-scale enrichment without any restrictions".

Israel and Iran have long fought each other through proxies, and with the new exchange each seemed to be sending a warning that a direct clash between them could swiftly escalate.
"It's from there that they really want to gain more influence and domination of the countries in the area".
Iran has to be alarmed that Russian Federation and Israel are working in close collaboration in Syria. "Their pictures would be on the internet in a couple of hours", the Iranian analyst said.
Marandi said most of the rockets from Syria had penetrated Israel's "Iron Dome" defenses and hit key sites, including intelligence-gathering centers.
At the same time, the government said it has tasked the president of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran with "taking all necessary steps in preparation for Iran to pursue industrial-scale enrichment without any restrictions, using the results of the latest research and development of Iran's fearless nuclear scientists". "But if the Syrian army takes action against us, we will act against it", Netanyahu warned in a Hebrew-language video Thursday.
