The Supreme National Security Council of Iran has issued a statement on the &ldquo national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy and its vile supporters&rdquo .

Iran&rsquo s armed forces delivered a &ldquo humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy&rsquo s cruelty&rdquo , it said, adding that it culminated in the attack on the US base in Qatar last night and dawn missile strikes on Israel.

The council said Tehran responded to attacks on its territory in a proportional and timely manner, and &ldquo forced the enemy into regret and accepting defeat and the unilateral cessation of its aggression&rdquo .

&ldquo The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, without any trust to the words of the enemy and with their hands on the trigger, are ready to deliver a decisive and deterring response to any violating act by the enemy&rdquo .
