In a recent development on the international front, President Biden and top national security officials have stated that the US will not engage in any offensive actions against Iran in response to Iranian attacks on Israel. The President lauded Israel’s successful interception of Iranian missiles as a significant victory and advised against further Israeli retaliation.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has urged Israel to inform the US in advance of any potential reaction to the Iranian assault. President Biden is set to convene a meeting with Group of Seven leaders to discuss a unified diplomatic approach to the escalating situation between Israel and Iran.
The series of Iranian attacks have heightened tensions between the two countries, raising concerns of more clashes. However, both the US and Israel are closely monitoring the situation and believe that the conflict does not need to evolve into a broader regional war.
Israel’s war cabinet is expected to deliberate on potential response strategies to the Iranian assaults. Iran has issued warnings of direct retaliation if Israel chooses to retaliate. The Iranian Revolution Guard Corps Commander has also cautioned of a “new equation” in the aftermath of the attacks.
