Numerous countries that support Israel are balking at their latest move: retaliation. After Iran attacked Israel earlier this week, the US and other countries were urging Israel not to strike back, as it may cause another Middle Eastern conflict to escalate into a war. However, Israel refused to listen to this and launched a strike on a major air defense base near the key city of Isfahan as a retaliation to the first attack by Iran. At first, local officials were worried that the missiles were targeting a nuclear power research facility in the region, but Israel confirmed that they were just carrying out a small attack to show that they can strike anywhere at any time. Now, we await Iran's decision: do they stop this conflict and back off or retaliate again to Israel? The second option would most likely cause some form of a war in between the two, which would be a disaster for peace relations and the entire Middle East in general. Thankfully, Iran does not seem to be looking for a larger war, meaning that they will most likely back off to keep the peace and de-escalate the conflict.
