The US said that Israel's retaliatory strike against Iran over the weekend was “proportionate” and should not lead to a response by Iran.
“Israel had a right to respond to that [1 October] attack. We supported their right to do so. They responded on Friday night. We believe this should be the end of the matter,” US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
“If Iran does respond in any way, we will continue to defend Israel".
