The U.S. air strikes against Iran revealed a few key things
The US Air-strikes on Iranian nuclear sites were done to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday. “Iran’s missiles and nuclear programme needs to be degraded by Israel,” he added. Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif called the airstrikes an “outrageous, grave and unprecedented violation” of the United Nations Charter and international law.
Retaliation by Israel was thought to be in the offing after the Iranian Missile Attack
Iran on Sunday fired missiles towards Israel, the country’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said. “Iran will continue to take all necessary steps to defend its territory from Israeli aggression…We call upon Israel to restraint,” he added. Earlier, Zarif said that Iran could respond to Israel’s attack on Lebanon’s Hezbollah with a missile strike against Israel.
