In Monday’s briefing in Canberra, Cantor would not say whether Israel may make further military response to the strikes, but said: “Israel keeps its right to self-defence.” Cantor went on to say such measures should include sanctions and diplomatic measures to limit Iranian and IRGC activity, including targeting of Iranian entities assisting the IRGC.
