During a call, US President Joe Biden informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington would not back a counterattack on Iran by Israel, amid Iran's drone and missile assault on Israeli territory. Biden emphasized joint defensive efforts' success in thwarting the Iranian attack and reaffirmed US commitment to Israel's security. He condemned Iran's aggression and pledged a united diplomatic response with G7 leaders. Concerns mount over potential regional war consequences. The unprecedented Iranian attack retaliated against an April 1 airstrike on its Damascus consulate. Israel claimed interception of the majority of Iranian missiles and drones.
