During a recent phone call with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Joe Biden expressed the importance of carefully evaluating potential Israeli strikes on Iran and considering the resulting consequences.
A senior official in Washington emphasized Biden’s message, stating that Netanyahu must approach the situation with strategic thinking to avoid escalation.
Assuring Israel of U.S. support, Biden reiterated the need for caution amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
Following Iran’s recent direct attack on Israel, concerns of further conflict in the Middle East have heightened, prompting international efforts to de-escalate the situation.
At a meeting of G7 leaders, including Biden, strong condemnation was expressed towards the large-scale attack and a united stance against further escalation with Iran was reinforced.
Emphasizing the U.S.’s commitment to assisting Israel in self-defense, the government clarified that any response from Israel would be a decision made by them.
Despite being Israel’s key ally, the U.S. emphasized its stance of not seeking war with Iran while continuing to support Israel militarily as tensions persist.
As Israel deliberates its response to Iran’s recent attack involving numerous missiles and drones, the situation remains fluid with uncertainty surrounding potential actions from both sides.
