Iran has announced a retaliatory strike against Israel ahead of the upcoming US presidential election on November 5. In such a situation, Israel's ally, the United States, says that under no circumstances should Iran launch a new attack. And if Iran attacks, the US will stand by Israel.
The Times of Israel reported this in a report on Thursday (October 31).
White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre said Iran should not retaliate against Israel's attack, but that the United States would support Israel if it did.
In the press briefing, the US spokesman said, 'Iran should not respond to Israel's retaliation. They should not... If they do, we will support Tel Aviv in defending Israelis'.
CNN reported on Tuesday that Iran is planning to attack Israel before the US presidential election. This is confirmed by citing various sources in Tehran. According to the report, Iran will give a 'specific and deplorable' response to the recent Israeli attack on its territory. The attack is likely to take place before the November 5 US presidential election.
Earlier on October 1, Iran fired about 200 missiles at Israel. Tehran said Israel carried out the attack in response to the killings of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan. However, Israel claims to shoot down most of these missiles before they hit the target.
And in response to the October 1 missile attack, Israel attacked Iran on October 26 Saturday night. Iran claimed four soldiers were killed and "limited damage" in the Israeli attack. However, Netanyahu claimed success in the attack saying that 'all goals have been achieved'.
On the same day, US President Joe Biden said, he hopes Israel will not attack Iran again. The reaction will stop here. However, Iran has warned of retaliation.
