Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have "taught a lesson" to the country's arch-enemy Israel.

"Punishment of the aggressor, which was the sincere promise of the powerful and wise leader of the Islamic Revolution, has come true," Raisi said in a statement from the presidential office.

Raisi warned Israel's allies against counter-attacks: "We advise the supporters of the occupying regime to appreciate this responsible and proportionate action of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
