The White House has said Israel’s overnight strikes on Iran should end the direct exchange of fire between the two countries while warning Tehran of “consequences” should it respond.

A senior White House official said the administration believed the Israeli operation should “close out” the direct military exchange between Israel and Iran, saying other allies were in agreement.
