Meeting of the Council of War, Israel warns Iran: We are not finished!
Meeting of the Council of War

The eyes of the international community are focused on Israel's next moves, as well as the decisions of Benjamin Netanyahu and his war council, following last night's attack by Iran.

No official communiqué has yet been issued following the talks, but so far information indicates that a majority of Council members were in favor of the response, which was expected as indicated by earlier statements by Israeli officials that they planned to draw up a special plan of retaliation against Iran.

According to information from the international media, during the meeting of the War Council, a series of reprisals that will be imposed on Tehran were discussed. It is known that it has been decided to postpone the operation in Rafah, so that the plan can be redesigned and the forces can be concentrated on the biggest enemy, which is Iran.

After all, Israel's Minister of War clarified earlier that there will be a response and even emphasized that the operation is not over yet. At the same time, the US and Europe clearly stand by Israel, recognizing the right to self-defense, but calling for restraint and avoiding an extended conflict.

In a phone conversation Joe Biden had with Benjamin Netanyahu the night of the attack, the US president reportedly told the Israeli prime minister that Israel should show restraint against Iran and that further retaliation may not be necessary.

White House National Security spokesman John Kirby told NBC that the US is not seeking a wider war in the region after helping Israel defend against an Iranian attack.

"We are not looking for escalation," Kirby emphasizes, but adds that the US president told Netanyahu during their phone call yesterday that the US will continue to support Israel's right to self-defense.

"A possible Israeli response to Iran's attacks could be severe, even as the US tries to prevent it from escalating the conflict," said Mike Mulroy, a former deputy defense secretary for the Middle East.

According to Mulroy, the Iranian attack could have killed many civilians and caused severe damage to Israeli political and commercial infrastructure.

Mulroy estimates that Israel will likely choose to respond directly to Iran, although the US will try to de-escalate the situation. "The attack could be as important as on the Iranian nuclear facilities," he emphasizes.

"If Israel takes this step, then Iran will have made a strategic mistake by launching the attack," says Mulroy.

A first glimpse of his intentions was provided earlier by Israel. Defense Minister Benny Gantz made it clear in a statement that his country would respond and that the mission was not over.

"Israel must strengthen the strategic alliance and regional cooperation that allowed it to stop yesterday's Iranian attack. Iran is a global problem, a regional challenge, and it is also a danger to Israel. Yesterday the world clearly stood with us in the face of danger. Israel Vs. Iran, the world against Iran, this is the result. This is a strategic achievement, which we must use for Israel's security", stressed Gantz.
