The attack has drawn widespread condemnation from Gulf states and Russia, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict.

The United States swiftly distanced itself from Israel’s unilateral action, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio stating, “Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region”.

President Donald Trump, who had previously issued a 60-day ultimatum to Iran regarding its nuclear program, took to social media to suggest that Tehran had missed an opportunity to negotiate before the deadline expired. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the strikes, citing an imminent nuclear threat from Iran.

With tensions at a boiling point, Iran’s Supreme Leader has vowed consequences, signaling that Israel will face repercussions for its actions. As the world watches closely, diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation remain uncertain.
