Vedant Patel, a State Department spokesman, said at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday that the United States was pushing for a \u201cunified diplomatic response\u201d to the Iranian attack and was urging Israel to avoid \u201cfurther escalation.\u201d But he added, \u201cThese decisions are for Israel to make as a sovereign, democratic country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s war cabinet has met several times since the weekend to discuss when and how to respond to Iran\u2019s barrage of ballistic missiles and exploding drones, almost all which were intercepted by Israel\u2019s air defenses, supported by the United States, Britain, France and Jordan.<\/p>\n

Israeli officials are said to be considering a range of options<\/a>, from a direct strike on Iran to a strike on an Iranian target, such as an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base, in a country other than Iran, to a cyberattack or assassinations, trying to send a clear message to Tehran while not sparking a major escalation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael will respond when it sees fit,\u201d an Israeli official said on Wednesday, adding that it had \u201cmultiple ways\u201d to do so. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military strategy.<\/p>\n

Iranian leaders have warned that the country will react forcefully to any Israeli strike. \u201cWe will respond with more deadly weapons,\u201d the Iranian army\u2019s commander in chief, Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, said on Wednesday<\/p>\n

Iran said it had attacked Israel in response to an April 1 airstrike on a diplomatic compound in Syria<\/a>, which killed at least three senior Iranian commanders and four officers overseeing Iran\u2019s covert operations in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Ms. Baerbock said it was critical to prevent \u201cthe highly dangerous situation in the Middle East from turning into a regional conflagration,\u201d the German news outlet Deutsche Presse-Agentur<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the G7, we speak with one voice,\u201d Ms. Baerbock said after arriving in Italy on Wednesday for a meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of 7 nations. \u201cAll players in the region are called upon to exercise maximum restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Cameron said that the Group of 7, which includes the United States as well as Britain and Germany, should work together to punish Iran with sanctions. U.S. and European officials said on Tuesday that they were considering placing additional sanctions<\/a> on Iran that could target its oil revenue and weapons programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
