Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, has staunchly defended Israel's airstrikes in Iran, asserting that no nation would endure missile attacks like those recently launched by Tehran. Following the firing of 11 ballistic missiles at Israel, Leiter emphasized that Israel's operations are focused on specific military targets to protect its citizens. He also noted a shift in Lebanese public sentiment against Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, warning of severe repercussions for any attacks from the militia. The fragile ceasefire in the region collapsed as Iran's missile strikes prompted immediate Israeli retaliation, raising concerns about the stability of ongoing diplomatic negotiations led by US President Donald Trump. Trump has been advocating for a nuclear deal with Iran and has urged Netanyahu to exercise restraint, fearing that continued violence could derail peace efforts. Amid these tensions, Iran has threatened broader retaliation against US and Israeli targets if hostilities persist, indicating a dangerous escalation in the already volatile region.
