US calls for calm after officials say Israeli missile hit Iran I BBC News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeated calls for de-escalation in the Middle East, after an apparent Israeli strike on Iran.

Speaking from a G7 meeting in Italy, Blinken says Washington was “not involved” in any offensive operation.

Iranian state media has cited unconfirmed reports of explosions in the central province of Isfahan, but downplayed reports of an attack.

Iran has been on high alert in the wake of Israel pledging to respond to Iran's unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel on Saturday night

The US response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus was to veto the UN draft resolution condemning it…The US has always acted as Israel’s human shield at the UN Security Council.

Iran is to blame? Did Iran commit a war crime or break international law by bombing a consulate which Israel did??

[HingleMacCringleberry]

So what would people say if Iran landed a drone in Israel then made a statement calling for calm? seems hypocritical
