Israel’s War Cabinet decided to hit back “clearly and forcefully” against Iran, yet hoping it would not trigger a regional war. On the other hand, Iran has announced that it will “respond immediately and more strongly than before” if Israel retaliates.
The Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, warned the members on Sunday not to further escalate the tensions by retaliating against Iran.
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, accused Iran of violating international law, while his Iranian counterpart invoked the right to self-defense, stating that he “had no choice”.
The United States has said it will work to hold Tehran accountable, Reuters reports. On the other hand, the White House has warned Israel that the US will not participate in any retaliatory attack on Iran, according to the BBC.
