US President Joe Biden has ruled out supporting an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Iran warned of a “stronger” response, amid increasing tensions in the Middle East.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian however stressed the country was “not looking for war”.

After Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel on Wednesday , Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tehran would pay for its “big mistake”.

Iran, which backs Hezbollah, said it would step up its response if Israel retaliates, defying calls for de-escalation in a war that has cost more than 1,000 lives in Lebanon.

Anthony Albanese is urging Israel to protect itself by prioritising ­diplomacy over military action against Iran and its terrorist proxies, as Labor comes under pressure to offer more explicit support for the
Jewish state with the Middle East on the verge of a broadening conflict.

While the Prime Minister condemned Iran for unleashing ­nearly 200 ballistic missiles on ­Israel, he called on both nations to de-escalate tensions and refused to back Israel’s push to dismantle Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure on its border.
