President Joe Biden opposes an Israeli retaliatory strike on Iranian nuclear sites after Iran’s missile attack on Israel. Tensions rose following Iran’s response to the killings of key leaders and Israel’s ground assault in Lebanon. The US urges de-escalation and seeks a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Biden, during a North Carolina visit, emphasized proportional Israeli responses, aligning with G7 leaders. The US State Department acknowledged Iran’s escalation and Israel’s right to respond, but the White House hasn’t specified a preferred Israeli action.
