0:53Now PlayingUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for restraint from Israel after Iran launched an attack involving hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
"In the 36 hours since, we have been coordinating a diplomatic response to seek to prevent escalation, strength and wisdom need to be....the different sides of the same coin," said Blinken.
"I've been in close communication with counterparts in the region and we will continue to do so in the hours and days ahead. We don't seek escalation, but will continue to support the defense of Israel and to protect our personnel in the region."
The Iranian attack on Saturday, less than two weeks after a suspected Israeli strike in Syria that killed two Iranian generals in an Iranian consular building, marked the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel, despite decades of enmity dating back to the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
