US Diplomatic Response To Iranian Attack On Israel

Iranians celebrate on a street, after the IRGC attack on Israel, in Tehran

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Monday that the United States has been actively engaged in coordinating a diplomatic response in the aftermath of a retaliatory Iranian attack on Israel over the weekend. Blinken emphasized the importance of balancing strength with wisdom, suggesting a call for restraint in Israel's response to the situation.

Blinken stated that he has been in communication with regional counterparts and will continue to engage with them in the coming hours and days. He underscored that while the US does not seek escalation, it remains committed to supporting Israel's defense and ensuring the safety of American personnel in the region.

President Joe Biden reportedly assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US would not participate in offensive actions against Iran. However, Biden highlighted the importance of international support for Israel in the face of aggression, emphasizing that Israel is not alone in defending itself when under attack.

The recent events have underscored the complex dynamics at play in the region, with the US working to prevent further escalation while supporting its allies. The diplomatic efforts led by Blinken reflect a commitment to finding peaceful resolutions and maintaining stability in the region.
