The White House warned Iran that the US would stand with the Jewish state if it retaliated to Israeli attacks. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday, "Iran should not respond to Israeli retaliation. If they do, we will support Israel." Last Saturday (October 26), Israel carried out air strikes on Iranian military bases. The Israeli army said that Saturday morning's attack was a response to Tehran's attack on the Jewish state on October 26.

Israel will have to face consequences for attacking Iran

Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday (29 October) that Israel will have to face consequences for attacking Iran. The Iranian Foreign Minister said this in a meeting with ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions, United Nations offices, and international organizations in the capital Tehran.

Araghchi said Israel and its "proxies" cannot escape political and legal responsibility for the attack on Iranian soil and must be held accountable.
