How will Israel and the US respond to Iran's attack on Israel? | DW News

An aerial assault was launched by Iran against Israel overnight: The Israeli army says more than 300 missiles and drones were fired. It is the first time Iran has launched a direct military attack on Israel despite decades of hostility.
There's been calm over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the wake of the barrage. Almost all the missiles were intercepted by Israel and the US. The UK and Jordan have also shot down drones. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard says the assault was in retaliation for an attack on its embassy in Syria on April 1st which killed 16 people including several Iranian generals. What considerations will Israel have to take into account as it decides how to respond? How difficult will it be for Israel and the US to agree on a clear response to this attack?
If it decides to retaliate, will Israel be able to drum up enough support? And can it respond without the US' support?

If you ever feel useless remember that the UN is still there

Clearly It is an international double standard.

german lyes. When irsael does it it's "retaliation" but when Iran does it it's "attack".

[Zac-ur]

How should they respond? they shouldn't, its not the US business for one, secondly Israel bombed an embassy of a foreign nation in another foreign nation. This is a response to Israel...

[MissSarahGM]

Who started attacking them? Media always forget to give the whole chronology of events.

[fatangmo]

the UN is entirely pathetic. get rid of the security council or get rid of the UN. waste of money

[Thelimitless]

Hypocrisy on a different level this is insane 🤔

[jimmysmith]

Don't let your kids go to fight a war for someone else's wrongdoing

[SadmanRyanRiad]

This is retaliation, not attack from Iran

[ShaJah-knec]

This shows poor and biased journalism from DW. The journalist said ‘ there has been widespread international condemnation of the Iranian attack on Israel’. I wonder whether the journalist understands the meaning of ‘widespread international…’

[terris]

Why can't the world just get along? If we put the same effort and support into helping each other, as we do in war, imagine what could be accomplished.

[badomen]

Germany talking about danger of escalation meanwhile providing weapons to Israel is true hypocrisy

[saidul]

isn't Biden saying if you hurt an American we will respond? why does Iran cant do the same? what condemnations now?

[Victorylooms]

Sunak calls Iranian retaliation 'reckless'. What did he say about the Israeli attack of Iranian embassy? Maybe I missed it.

[zzoya]

You mean Iran's retaliation against the attack Israel did on thier embassy?? Who you misguiding this way?

[JustMeJarvis]

Ok so Israel attacks the Iranian embassy fully expecting that the Iranians would not retaliate. When Iran retaliates, Israel and the world calls them monsters. Am I getting this right?

[mirzasaj]

Now they call for Emergency meeting?? 😂

[gearoftones]

Er, who bombed who first?

I thought countries had an absolute right to self defence? Or does that only count sometimes? 🤔
