Israel has not assured the United States it will refrain from targeting Iran's nuclear facilities amid rising tensions after Iran's missile strikes. A senior State Department official stated, "It is really hard to tell" regarding Israel's potential actions. President Biden urged Israel to consider alternatives to striking oil fields, emphasizing the need to avoid escalating conflict. Netanyahu vowed a strong response to Iran's missile barrage, which included 180 missiles aimed at Israel, prompting warnings from Iran that retaliation could include strikes on Israeli energy facilities. Communication between US and Israeli officials continues but lacks clarity on a response timeline.
