Iran has warned Israel that any "reckless" retaliation to its unprecedented aerial attack would receive a "much stronger response".
More than 300 drones and missiles were launched at Israel by Iran overnight, following the 1 April Israeli strike on Iran's consulate in Syria.
Israel said it and allies had intercepted 99% of the weapons.
It marked Iran's first direct attack on Israel, with the two countries having waged a years-long shadow war.
World leaders have urged restraint amid concerns about a major escalation in tensions in the Middle East.
The Iranian foreign minister said the regional countries hosting American military bases have been given a warning that if their airspace or territories are used by the US for supporting the Israeli regime in any action against Iran, those bases will be inevitably targeted by Iran.
In a meeting with the foreign ambassadors to Tehran, held at the Foreign Ministry on Sunday, Hossein Amirabdollahian expounded on the punitive mission “Operation True Promise” that Iran carried out in the wee hours of Sunday in retaliation for the Israeli airstrike on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1.
He said the friends of Iran in the regional countries had been informed around 72 hours in advance of the operation that Iran will definitely give a response to Israel in accordance with its legitimate right to self-defense.
