Iran Concludes Military Action Against Israel, Warns US to Stay Away

Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel in response to an attack on its consulate in Damascus, offering an off-ramp to conclude the conflict if Israel considers it so. The UN Charter's Article 51 on legitimate defense was cited, warning of a more severe response if Israel makes another mistake. The US was urged to stay out of the conflict, while historical incidents of Iran's disregard for diplomatic protection were highlighted. Russia's motion to condemn Israel for the Damascus strike was opposed by the US, UK, and France, leading to criticism from Russia and Iran.
