According to an unnamed senior official who spoke to the American channel CNN, US President Joe Biden evaluated Washington's position during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"THE US WILL NOT SUPPORT A COUNTERATTACK AGAINST IRAN"
In addition to conveying the message that "US support for Israel is ironclad," Biden stated to Netanyahu that they would not support any Israeli counterattack against Iran.
The report stated that Biden told Netanyahu that "Israel came out on top" in the picture tonight and that Iran was unable to cause any significant damage to Israel.
An unnamed White House official who spoke to the American news site Axios on the subject similarly noted that the US does not support an Israeli "counterattack" that would target Iran.
IRAN'S ATTACKS LASTED APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS
On the other hand, another official who spoke to CNN stated that Iran's air attacks against Israel lasted approximately 5 hours.
US President Biden had announced that he condemned Iran's attacks "in the strongest possible terms," that he had conveyed the message to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that "their support for Israel is full," and that he would convene G-7 leaders today to coordinate a joint diplomatic response to Iran.
