US Sends Message to Iran: Will Defend Israel if Reciprocal
Recent tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated after Iran launched a missile attack on Israeli military bases. In response, Israel carried out its own attack on military targets in Iran. A senior White House official has stated that Israel’s response should end at this point and that the United States will defend Israel if Iran retaliates.
The Iranian missile attack on Israel occurred on October 1, targeting military bases in the west and southwest of Tehran. Israeli air defense systems responded to the attack, leading to a series of exchanges between the two countries. The Israeli army announced that their attack on Iran was completed, but Iran closed its airspace as a precaution.
Despite the airstrikes, there have been no reported injuries from the attacks. Iranian state television reported loud explosions in Tehran, believed to be the result of air defense systems firing missiles in response to the Israeli attack. The situation remains tense as both countries monitor the developments closely.
The White House official emphasized that the United States is prepared for any further actions by Iran and that there will be consequences for any escalation of hostilities. The message has been relayed to Iran, indicating a firm stance on defending Israel against any potential threats.
As both countries navigate through these turbulent times, the international community watches closely to see how the situation will unfold. Stay tuned for more updates on the Iran-Israel conflict.
