Iran should not respond to Israel’s retaliation, but if it does, the United States will support Israel, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre says.

“Iran should not respond to Israel’s retaliation. They should not… If they do, we will support Israel in defending itself, but they should not,” she says at a news briefing.
