Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a meeting with Likud ministers that Israel will respond to the recent Iranian attack, but emphasized the importance of doing so wisely rather than impulsively. He indicated that Iran should be nervous and uncertain about when the Israeli response might occur, mirroring the uncertainty Israel faces from Iran.
Netanyahu also announced that Israel has committed to informing the United States prior to any attack, giving American troops in the region time to prepare for potential Iranian retaliation. This decision was made in response to Washington’s displeasure over Israel not providing adequate warning before a previous strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi reiterated that Israel will respond to the recent attack involving missiles, cruise missiles, and drones on Israeli territory.
Iran has stated that it is prepared for a more powerful response in the event of further Israeli attacks, with Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian warning of escalated actions to defend its security and national interests. The government emphasized that it does not seek to increase tension in the region but will respond forcefully if provoked.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby clarified that the decision on how to respond to the Iranian attack is solely Israel’s to make, with the United States not directly involved. Efforts are underway within G7 countries to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict in Middle East region. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed support for Israel but also emphasized the need for peace and cautioned against military escalation.
