US President Joe Biden stated on Friday that Israel has not yet decided on its response to the recent Iranian attack. He suggested that if he were in Israel's position, he would consider alternatives to striking Iran's oil facilities. Biden's comments have led to a slight decline in oil prices, with the commodity giving up over $1 of earlier gains. The potential Israeli retaliation against Iran remains under discussion.
