In response to reports of an Israeli response to the Iranian attack, the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued new threats, reiterating its readiness to respond immediately and more forcefully if Israel takes any action.
Al Jazeera reports this.
This statement was made by Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdullahian, during a conversation with the British Foreign Secretary, where it was also emphasized that Tehran does not seek to escalate tensions.
The US, in turn, expressed commitment to Israel’s security, but called for a diplomatic response from Israel to the Iranian attack. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted that over the past 36 hours they have focused their efforts on coordinating a diplomatic response aimed at preventing escalation in the Middle East.
In its statements, the US emphasized the need to combine strength and wisdom to find a balanced solution while supporting the defense of Israel and protecting its personnel in the region.
