Netanyahu on the phone with Biden...Israel's "retaliation plan" [Now News]

Media reports say Israel, which has signaled retaliation for Iran's ballistic missile attacks, has conveyed its intention to the U.S. side to strike military facilities, not nuclear or oil-related ones.

The Washington Post reported on the 14th local time, citing multiple officials, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conveyed this intention in a phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 9th.

The U.S. has been dissuading Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear facilities or energy assets, believing that it could encourage expansion in the Middle East.

President Biden has publicly warned against targeting nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure, especially as the U.S. presidential election is less than a month away.

Experts believe that an Israeli attack on Iran's oil facilities could send energy prices soaring, and that an attack on a nuclear facility could change Iran's nuclear strategy and intensify the conflict by removing even the remaining "red lines."
