Following Iran’s recent retaliatory attack on Israel, leaders around the world are emphasizing the importance of restraint. The United Nations Secretary-General convened an emergency Security Council meeting, warning that the Middle East is teetering on the edge of a major crisis.
In a notable move, the United States has cautioned Israel against launching a retaliatory strike against Iran, indicating that it will not participate in such actions.
The Israeli military reported successfully intercepting a drone that approached the country from the southeast on Sunday evening, heightening security concerns.
Meanwhile, in the United States, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans to pursue the passage of aid to Israel this week in response to Iran’s attack. Johnson, facing challenges within the Republican Party and striving to avoid potential ousting, recounted previous unsuccessful attempts to secure standalone aid packages for Israel.
