President Joe Biden has stated that he does not support an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites in response to Israel’s vow to retaliate against Iran’s missile attack on Tuesday. Biden emphasized the need for a proportional response and announced that more sanctions would be imposed on Iran. Israel, on the other hand, convened its security cabinet to discuss a forceful response to the missile attack. The cabinet agreed to cause significant financial damage as a retaliation. Iran, through its ambassador to the UN, justified its missile strikes on Israel as a proportionate response to previous acts of aggression by Israel. The escalation of tensions in the Middle East has prompted the US to focus on aligning perspectives with Israel on a potential response to Iran’s attack. The G7 leaders condemned Iran’s actions and expressed full solidarity and support for Israel. Amid the escalating conflict, the UN Secretary-General has called for a halt to the deadly cycle of violence, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Various nations, including the UK, France, and China, are evacuating their nationals from Lebanon due to the growing instability in the region. The situation remains volatile, with continued clashes between Israeli and Hezbollah forces, airstrikes on Damascus, and escalating tensions in the Middle East.
