Chancellor of Germany Olaf Schulz: "In the last few hours, Israel faced a terrible attack. This attack cannot be justified in any way, it is a serious escalation and should not be accepted. Fortunately, Israel was able to successfully intercept this attack, which is good and impressive."
German Foreign Minister Analana Barbuk: "We condemn the Iranian attack in the strongest possible way, and stand in great solidarity with Israel. The international condemnations and the aid from the USA, Great Britain and regional forces clearly prove – Iran is isolated. Israel is strong, Israel can defend itself."

The region was on high alert for a possible retaliatory attack from Iran after an Israeli attack killed a senior Iranian officer at the embassy in Syria. Biden noted that "the US military has moved anti-ballistic missile defense aircraft and destroyers to the area over the past week" in anticipation of the attack.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdulahian said in his speech to ambassadors and representatives of diplomatic missions in Tehran: "The Iranian military operation against Israel yesterday was limited and aimed at the launch sites of the F-35 aircraft. The Israeli attack on our consulate violates international laws and treaties, and we will not hesitate to defend our interests against any attack.
We showed restraint, but it seems that Israel was wrong – the reluctance of the Security Council to issue a statement regarding the aggression against our consulate encouraged Netanyahu to violate the laws allies of the Zionist entity prevented our diplomatic attempt to call on the international community to condemn the aggression against our consulate in Damascus – the international community calls For Iran to act with restraint and turn a blind eye to Israel's crimes."
Meanwhile, Iran invited the ambassadors of Great Britain, France and Germany because of their country's position regarding its attack on Israel. The Israeli government called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
