Report: Israel has not pledged to avoid damaging Iran’s nuclear facilities

When the official was asked if Israel had pledged not to attack the Iranian nuclear sites, he said: “We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength, but as you know, there are no promises.”

According to the report, the date of Israel’s response remains unclear, with the American official saying that it is “very difficult to know” whether Israel will use the anniversary of the Hamas attacks on October 7 to respond. “I think in some ways they will want to avoid the seven for October, so in my estimation if there is anything it will probably be before or after,” he said, pointing to the sensitivity of that day.

President Biden made it clear earlier this week that the US will not support Israeli action against the Iranian nuclear program. However, even US officials are still unclear about the timing and nature of the Israeli response.

The American official emphasized the ongoing efforts of the United States to prevent escalation into a wide regional war. According to him, the United States has been working for almost a year to prevent the conflict from becoming a larger war, and so far it has done so successfully. However, he warned that the situation is now “on the brink”, hinting at the potential for escalation in the current situation.

Outrage in the US over Israel’s conduct, US Defense Secretary Austin was shaken

Pentagon officials told the New York Times that dealing with and working with Israel became much more difficult following the decision not to inform the US before military operations against “existential threats”. For example, in Washington they learned from Israel that the ground invasion of Lebanon would only be limited, but so far it has Looks much wider.

Also the fact that Gallant informed Defense Minister Austin about the elimination of Nasrallah only when the operation was already underway – and Minister Austin was “shocked” because Israel did not allow the US an opportunity to prepare and increase the defense arrays for its soldiers in the region for fear of an Iranian reaction.

Biden’s message ahead of the Israeli response – and the sting to Netanyahu: “He must remember this”

In a briefing held yesterday at the White House, US President Joe Biden referred to the possibility of attacking the Iranian oil facilities and claimed that “the Israelis have not decided what they will do, this issue is still under discussion.” He later sent an unequivocal message and said: “If I were in their shoes, I would think of other alternatives.”

“Our teams are in contact 12 hours a day, we are in contact all the time,” the president said in response to the question: do you have any influence on Israel’s actions, given the fact that you are not talking to Netanyahu. He was later asked if he thinks Israel will listen to the US and he replied: “What I know is that the plan I brought received the support of the United Nations.

He also emphasized that “Israel has the full right to respond to the horrible acts against it. Not only by the Iranians, but also by Hezbollah and the Houthis. But they should be more careful regarding the lives of civilians.” Biden also referred to efforts to prevent an all-out regional war and emphasized: “We (the US) are doing a lot of things, that means getting the world involved to calm the region. But when there are non-rational proxies, such as Hezbollah and the Houthis, it is difficult to determine.”
