Israel Quiet On Next Steps Against Iran

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli leaders are crediting an international military coalition with thwarting Iran’s direct attack and calling the coordinated response a starting point for a “strategic alliance” of regional opposition to Tehran. But an official says Israel’s War Cabinet has met without apparent decision on next steps as a nervous world waits for any sign of further escalation of the former shadow war. The military coalition is led by the United States, Britain and France and appears to include a number of Middle Eastern countries. It shot down the vast majority of about 350 drones and missiles Iran launched overnight.
