Israel received strong support from several friends the next moment Israel and Iran exchanged problems. In the form of fighter jet, refueling aircraft, and air defense systems, Britain and the US provided copy. Jordan, which is close to Jordan, confirmed that it had shot over Iranian drones and weapons. Some East Asian nations gave Israel permission to fly over their aircraft. This time around, there was more worry and less knowledge. After eight weeks of simmering tensions but no direct fighting, some Western friends were concerned that Israel was ratcheting up a fight with Iran. Scaling is “dangerous,” according to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, while EU’s general diplomat, Kaja Kallas, described the situation as “dangerous.” These remarks came in response to a growing chorus of Western condemnations of Israel over the past few weeks for escalating the conflict in Gaza. Some of the countries in the region received the most severe criticism. The strikes pose” a clear threat to regional and international peace and security,” according to Egypt, which has a historic peace agreement with Israel. However, a number of important allies, including the US, supported Israel and expressed growing anger with Iran’s expanding atomic program. Allies could still use force to Israel’s defense in the event that Iran launches a prominent attack.
