The United States on Tuesday called on nations worldwide to unite in condemning Iran following its ballistic missile attack on Israel. The State Department described Tehran’s actions as “brazen and unacceptable,” underscoring heightened tensions in the region.
In a press briefing, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized the gravity of the attack and urged the international community to take a firm stance against Iran’s aggression. “We call on every nation to join us in condemning this blatant assault on a sovereign nation,” said Miller, reiterating Washington’s support for Israel and its right to defend itself.
According to the U.S. government, Iran launched a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets. While the full extent of the damage remains unclear, Miller confirmed that no U.S. facilities were affected by the attack. “At this time, we are not aware of any damage to U.S. facilities in the region,” he stated. Miller also noted that the U.S. had not received prior warning from the Iranian government regarding the missile strike.
The attack has further strained relations between the U.S. and Iran, which have already been marked by years of diplomatic tension and economic sanctions. The U.S. government has vowed to hold Tehran accountable for its actions, warning of potential consequences for escalating violence in the region.
The incident has sparked widespread international concern over the potential for further conflict in the Middle East. The U.S. is now pressing its allies to join in coordinated diplomatic efforts to condemn Iran’s actions and ensure regional stability.
Israel has yet to issue an official response, but it is expected to bolster its defense posture in the wake of the attack. As tensions mount, the international community is watching closely for further developments in what could be a rapidly escalating situation.
