On the 13th local time, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei's senior adviser on international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati issued a statement announcing America's participation in the Israeli attack. He stressed that the attack occurred after the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors passed the anti-Iran resolution and before the sixth round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US was about to begin, and described the attack as a sign of Israel's “hopelessness and fear” in the face of Iran's growing strength. He said that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran is currently preparing a response.
