Oct 14, 2024, 08:49 PM

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has informed the Biden administration that Israel is prepared to strike Iranian military targets, rather than oil or nuclear facilities. This decision, reported by the Washington Post and confirmed by two officials familiar with the matter, suggests a more limited counterstrike aimed at preventing a full-scale war. Netanyahu communicated this plan during a recent conversation with President Joe Biden. The focus on military targets is intended to avoid escalating the situation further.
