White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Iran should not respond to Israel’s actions, but if it does, the United States will support Israel.
“Iran should not respond to Israeli retaliation. They should not… If they do, we will support Israel in its defense, but they should not,” Jean-Pierre said.
As previously reported, retired Major General Yossi Kuperwasser published an analytical article titled “Iran Admits: There is No Military Way to Stop Israel,” in which he analyzes the consequences of the Israeli attack on Iran and its impact on the situation in the region.
The author emphasizes that the Israeli operation caused significant damage to Iranian air defense systems and missile production. This indicates that Iran could face serious consequences if it attempts to develop nuclear weapons.
Previously, Kursor wrote that there is growing concern in the world that after the destruction of the Iranian S-300 air defense systems as a result of an Israeli strike, Israel may begin to regularly attack targets in Iran, just as it does in Syria.
The fact that Iran decided to soften the impact of the Israeli attack indicates its fears of starting a larger war.
Furthermore, Kursor has already reported that Iran remains restrained in response to the recent Israeli airstrike, despite the significant losses and damage caused to the country’s military infrastructure. Based on statements by leader Khamenei and President Pejhian, Iranian authorities are trying to downplay the attack and its consequences, leaving the decision on possible retaliatory actions to the Supreme National Security Council.
