A spokesperson for the Iranian General Staff announced that “Iran holds Israel and the United States equally responsible for the strike on our territory.” The statement came amid reports of a major attack on a nuclear facility in Natanz, allegedly carried out by Israeli warplanes.
In response, the U.S. Department of Defense emphasized its unwavering support for Israel. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh stated:
“And should we see another attack from Iran, we will also come to the defense of Israel.”
This message underscores Washington’s commitment to ensuring Israel’s security in the face of growing regional tensions, signaling readiness to provide both military and diplomatic backing if the conflict escalates further.
