U.S. President Joe Biden refused to publicly negotiate the American position on Israel potentially striking Iran’s oil facilities. The comment follows Tehran’s recent missile attack, to which Israel is reportedly considering a significant retaliation. While Washington has expressed support for ensuring Iran faces consequences, Biden emphasized keeping discussions confidential. He declined to predict the potential rise in global oil prices, stating, "If a hurricane hits, prices are going to go up. I don't know; who knows." Biden also mentioned that he had not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu recently due to a lack of urgent developments.
