Iranian Official Warns of Immediate Response if Israel Retaliates: Israel-Gaza Conflict Updates

Tensions between Israel and Iran are escalating as Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, issued a chilling warning that if Israel strikes back, Iran’s response will be swift, taking less than a few seconds. This statement comes in the wake of Iran’s recent attack on Israel, which caught the U.S. off guard, according to Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary.

Despite the mounting pressure, Israel’s Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi remains resolute, stating that any attack on Israeli territory will be met with a response. As Israel contemplates its next move, the U.S. has made it clear that if Israel chooses to retaliate militarily, it will have to do so alone. This shift in policy reflects the Biden administration’s reluctance to engage in offensive military operations against Iran, fearing the potential for a broader conflict in the Middle East.

The situation remains tense as Israel assesses its options and weighs the consequences of potential retaliation. With the threat of further escalation looming, the region is on edge as the world watches closely to see how the situation unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
