"If the Zionist regime makes a mistake again and attacks the holy land of Iran, the situation will be different and no stone will be left standing of this regime," Raisi said from Pakistan, where he is on an official visit.

The Iranian leader recalled that his country had punished Israel after its bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and six Syrian civilians, saying the attack "was a violation of all laws and conventions and the UN Charter."

Israel alleges that the building next to the consulate was being used for military purposes.

By punishment, Raisi was referring to Iran's attacks on Israeli territory with more than 300 drones and missiles in response to the bombing.

"We have no doubt that the hatred generated in the Islamic world and the world in general against the Zionists and the Americans -- for the offensive against the Gaza Strip after the attacks perpetrated on October 7 by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) -- will become a revenge of the nations, as well as the end of the Zionist infanticidal regime," Raisi concluded.

The Iranian leader has defended the right to his attacks on Israel in the face of international criticism, arguing that they are part of a legitimate response and his right to "self-defense" after the bombing of his consulate in Damascus.

In recent days, the international community has expressed growing concern about the increase in tensions and the possibility of an expansion of the conflict in the Middle East through a direct confrontation between Iran and Israel.
