US President Joe Biden has confirmed discussions with Israel about potential strikes on Iran's oil facilities. This comes after Iran fired over 180 missiles at Israel in response to the deaths of key leaders from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran's military. Biden did not specify if the US supports the strikes but has previously opposed targeting Iran's nuclear sites. The price of Brent crude oil rose sharply after Biden’s remarks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Iran would "pay a heavy price" for the missile attack, raising concerns of further escalation in the Middle East.
