The Israeli government has advised that it is still considering its response to Iran’s recent missile and drone attack; however, Israel says its response will be ‘calibrated’ to limit further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Meanwhile, US treasury secretary Janet Yellen says sanctions will be part of the Biden administration’s strategy to disrupt Iran’s "malign and destabilising activity". The European Union is also considering new sanctions on Iran, which has indicated that the attack on Israel was justified due to the recent airstrike on its consulate in Syria.
