On Saturday, Iran launched an estimated 300 missiles and drones into Israel in retaliation for the killing of seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack, though it its believed to be behind the strike.

The vast majority of the missiles and drones were intercepted.

After Iran’s attack, the Iranian Mission to the United Nations said, “The matter can be deemed concluded.”

“However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!” it added.

Tapper also asked Fetterman about a report that Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. will not participate in an Israeli retaliation.

“I don’t agree with that,” the senator said.

He added, “And I just think we should follow and have Israel’s back in this situation. I don’t agree with the president.”
