The British Prime Minister stressed that Israel has the right to defend itself against what appears to be aggressive actions by Iran. He also called on all parties to show restraint and work to reduce tensions in the region. Before launching retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets, Israel warned of the need to refrain from acting through proxies.
Israel informed Iran of its intention to attack only military targets to avoid further escalation. Retaliatory strikes target air defense and ballistic missile production facilities used in attacks on Israel. This was the strategy agreed to by senior US officials in recent weeks.
The American administration supports Israel and is ready to prevent any threats from Iran. Iran, in turn, is trying to limit the media impact of the consequences of the attack, calling the damage insignificant. The exact picture of the damage can be assessed later using reconnaissance data or analysis of satellite images.
