The Iranian Supreme Leader, Khamenei, made it clear that the Zionist regime would face punishment for any actions taken against Iran. The Revolutionary Guards issued a statement saying they had attacked specific targets in Israel using missiles and UAVs. This announcement prompted the Iranian Defense Minister to warn that any country allowing Israel to attack Iran from their airspace or territory would face a decisive response.
In response to the Iranian announcement, the White House stated that the United States would stand by Israel. President Joe Biden evaluated the situation with senior American security officials and reiterated the commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its allies. American officials expressed concern that the Iranian attack could escalate into a regional war.
Dr. Anat Hochberg-Marom, writing in “Ma’ariv,” assessed that the assassination in Damascus marked a critical shift in the balance of deterrence between Israel and Iran. She noted that conflict between the two countries had moved from a shadow war to an open and complex campaign, increasing the risk of an all-out regional conflict. Despite their differences, she suggested that both countries shared a common interest in avoiding further escalation.
