United States State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller on Monday urged Iran to avoid further "escalating" tensions in the region following Israel's weekend attack, stressing the importance of Tehran refraining from any retaliatory actions.

During a press briefing, the spokesperson reaffirmed Israel's right to self-defense in light of Iran's "unprecedented ballistic missile attack" on October 1, emphasizing that Israel's retaliatory strike on Tehran in the night between October 25-26, "should be the end of the matter."

"If Iran does respond in any way, we will continue to defend Israel," the State Department spokesperson stated.
