The United States has declared its support for Israel’s recent military action against Iran, calling the strike “proportionate” in response to a previous Iranian aggression, according to the Times of Israel.During a press briefing, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized that Israel had the right to retaliate following the October 1 incident, which involved an Iranian attack.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Miller stated, “Israel had a right to respond to that attack. We supported their right to do so. They responded on Friday night. We believe this should be the end of the matter.”
Miller’s comments come amid heightened tensions in the region, with concerns about potential escalation following Israel’s military response. The spokesperson cautioned Iran against further provocations, asserting that any retaliatory measures would prompt continued US support for Israel. “If Iran does respond in any way, we will continue to defend Israel,” he warned, underscoring the US commitment to its ally.
The US administration has been actively involved in advising Israel on its military strategy. According to Miller, Israel adhered to President Joe Biden’s guidance by refraining from targeting critical Iranian nuclear and oil infrastructure during its strike. Instead, the Israeli response was focused solely on military sites, which Miller deemed “entirely appropriate given the nature of the attack by Iran.”
This incident marks a significant moment in US-Israeli relations, illustrating the Biden administration’s stance on regional security and its commitment to Israel’s defense capabilities. The US has consistently supported Israel’s right to self-defense while also advocating for restraint in military engagements that could lead to broader conflict.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
