US President Joe Biden reiterated his ironclad support of "Israel" and its security following Iran's operation targeting Israeli military bases in occupied Palestine on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, Joe Biden coordinated a call with all G7 members to organize and support a response to the Iranian missile attack. 

According to the White House, Biden joined the call and discussed the events of the attack and a response, which would include possible sanctions. 

He also confirmed to reporters that sanctions will be imposed on Iran, ahead of an anticipated call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

However, amid Israeli threats to respond to Tuesday's operations, Biden said he would not support an attack against Iran's nuclear assets. 

In a similar context, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell announced that the Biden administration will be focusing all efforts on bridging perspectives with the Israelis regarding a potential response against Iran. 

"I think we recognise as important as a response of some kind should be, there is a recognition that the region is really on a knife’s edge, and real concerns about an even broader escalation or a continuing one," he said. 

Israeli response to strikes to warrant wide-scale destruction: Iran

Iranian officials commented on the latest retaliatory attack conducted by the country's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) against the Israeli regime on Tuesday, offering some insights on the build-up to the operation, as well as the government and armed forces' future actions. 

Iran's Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, spoke after footage of the operation being commissioned from the IRGC's operations room was released. Major General Bagheri said that Iran had gone through "a difficult period of restraint" during the buildup to "Operation True Promise 2".

He said that the country did not launch a retaliatory attack to the assassination of Palestinian Resistance leader, martyr Ismail Haniyeh, in northern Tehran due to American requests and promises of a ceasefire in Gaza. 

"However, the situation became unbearable after the martyrdom of Sayyed (Hassan) Nasrallah and Brigadier General Abbas Nilforooshan," Bagheri said in reference to the Israeli raid that led to the martyrdom of the two leaders as well as several other Resistance officials on September 27.

More than two months since the assassination of martyr Haniyeh, and after several rounds of negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza, which culminated in Israeli officials pushing a deal into a dead end, and after the Israeli regime commissioned several aggressive actions, Iran responded in a wide-scale missile strike. 

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran warned against any "Israeli folly" in an attempt to respond to Iran's rightful retaliatory attack.

"In the case that the aggressing [Israeli] entity responds, it will have to expect the destruction of its infrastructure on a wide scale," the highest military body in Iran underlined.

"If the countries supporting the entity intervene directly and attack Iran and its sovereignty, their interests will be targeted throughout the region," the body said, adding that such countries would also regret taking direct action against Iran.
