President Biden mentioned the US is considering allowing Israel to bomb Iranian oil facilities in response to recent rocket attacks on Israel, causing a spike in global oil prices. Biden clarified that the US advises, rather than allows, Israel’s actions. He opposes an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. A potential strike on Iran’s oil could have environmental impacts, complicating Biden’s climate stance. The US has not committed to stricter sanctions on Iran’s oil exports, which have increased, as this could raise energy prices before the upcoming election, affecting Vice President Harris’ candidacy.
