British Prime Minister Keir Starmer noted that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iran’s actions, which our country considers aggressive.
“Israel has the right to defend itself from Iranian aggression, and we must equally avoid a regional escalation. I urge all parties to show restraint: Iran must not react. We will work with our partners to reduce tensions in the region,” Starmer said. .
As previously reported, before launching retaliatory strikes against Iranian military targets, Israel warned Iran through several intermediaries, including the Dutch Foreign Minister, to refrain from retaliating.
According to three Axios sources, Israel provided Iran with general information about the upcoming attack, clarifying that the strikes would only target military targets, such as air defense and ballistic missile production facilities that have previously been used to attack Israel, to avoid further escalation.
Previously, Kursor wrote that Israel carried out retaliatory strikes against several military targets in Iran as part of a strategy that senior US officials described as “targeted and proportionate.” According to the information, these measures were agreed between the countries in recent weeks.
The US administration announced its support for Israel and highlighted Washington’s willingness to prevent any potential threat in case of retaliation by Iran.
Furthermore, Cursor has already reported that Iran will seek to minimize the media impact of the consequences of the Israeli attack, possibly claiming that the damage is negligible. However, the true picture of losses can be assessed later, either with the help of Israeli intelligence data or by analyzing satellite images.
