The U.S. reaffirmed its "ironclad" commitment to Israel’s security, cautioning Iran against retaliating after Israeli forces struck military targets in Iran. The strikes, conducted early Saturday, were in response to Iran's October 1 ballistic missile attack. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stressed that Iran should avoid escalating the conflict, warning of repercussions for any retaliation. Israel's strikes reportedly killed four Iranian soldiers, sparking Iranian warnings of self-defense and a retaliatory rocket attack from Hezbollah into northern Israel. Meanwhile, the U.S., Germany, and Britain urged Tehran to prevent further escalation in the region.
