White House spokesman said that the US is not involved in the decision-making process regarding the response. "The Israeli government will decide on its own whether to respond and how," he said.

According to him, the G7 countries are promoting sanctions against Tehran's missile program - and some are considering declaring the Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdulahian said in a telephone conversation with British Foreign Minister David Cameron that Iran is not interested in further escalation in the region, but emphasized that "if Israel looks for adventures, our next response will be immediate, stronger and more extensive" The leader of the Republican majority in the American Congress, Steve Scalise, called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening and expressed his support for any decision that Israel makes in light of the Iranian attack. The U.S. Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, also commented and said that "the Iranian attack was unprecedented in scope - the first time Iran directly attacked Israel. We are building a united alliance against Iran - this is absolutely not what Iran wanted to happen"
