Israel Vows to Limit Retaliatory Strike on Iran to Military Facilities
Israel has assured the United States that its planned retaliatory attack on Iran will not target nuclear or oil facilities. This follows Iran's missile attack on Israel after the killing of Tehran-aligned leaders. The reassurance was communicated between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden. The US is relieved as there are concerns about further regional conflict and global energy prices.
Israel has assured the United States that its planned retaliatory attack on Iran will not target nuclear or oil facilities.
This assurance follows Iran's missile attack on Israel on October 1, in response to the killing of Tehran-aligned militant leaders by Israel.
According to US media, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has communicated to the White House, particularly to President Joe Biden and through interactions between US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, that only military sites are the intended targets.
This plan was reportedly well-received in Washington, as there are concerns about further regional conflicts and rising global energy prices.
The recent missile exchange marks Iran's second direct attack on Israel this year.
