After the attack on Israel, Iran has openly warned the U.S. against any military action. Iran declared that it has no intention of engaging in conflict with the U.S. in the region. Tehran, however, stated that it would retaliate if the U.S. initiated military action. The threat comes as the U.S. has once again backed Israel's "right to defend." Iran's attack has rattled Israel, which has been bombing Gaza for half a year now. The Israeli war cabinet is in favour of "hitting back," but there is no clarity on the response yet.
