The ambassador of USA before the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfieldmade clear in the Security Council of the HIMin an emergency session dedicated to the growing tension in Lebanonthat your country “totally, totally, totally supports Israel”.
The ambassador did not apportion blame for the escalation of tension on the ground after a series of attacks and reprisals between Iran e Israel as did other Council members, and placed responsibility solely on Iran.
“Let me be clear: the Iranian regime will be held responsible for its actions – and we strongly warn against any attempt by Iran and its pawns to act against USA– and his actions against Israel“said the ambassador, who insisted that the Council is called today to “unequivocally condemn Iran’s attack and demand that it cease its support for terrorism in the region”.
The ambassador did not at any time criticize Israel, nor did she ask for restraint in its response against Iran, which is expected at any moment.
“Let there be no doubt: the United States will continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamaslos Houthis (from Yemen) and any other terrorist that Iran supports“, and only clarified that “How Israel defends itself matters” because “it must take steps to minimize harm to civilians.””.
