Israel is said to be considering a potential strike on Iran's nuclear facilities

 


Israel is said to be considering a potential strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, a move which US President Joe Biden has discouraged, emphasizing the need for a proportionate response. Biden expressed his opposition to Israel taking action against Iran's nuclear and oil sites during a period of heightened tensions in the Middle East. Instead, he urged Israel to act in a measured and proportionate manner. In response to reports of Israel's intentions to target Iran's nuclear facilities following missile attacks from Tehran, Biden acknowledged Israel's right to self-defense but emphasized the importance of proportionality in any response, as reported by The Times of Israel. 

He also engaged with G7 leaders regarding the potential implementation of fresh sanctions against Tehran. Following the virtual G7 meeting, the White House announced that Biden had orchestrated the collaborative enforcement of the additional sanctions targeting Iran. The G7 leaders, including Biden, firmly denounced Iran's assault on Israel, signaling a significant increase in tensions in the Middle East.

LATEST ON ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT:

Biden announced plans for additional sanctions against Iran in response to the recent attacks on Israel, and expressed intention to communicate with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promptly. When questioned about Israel's potential strike on Iran's nuclear and oil installations, Biden firmly replied, "No." Analysts predict that Israel's retaliation would be harsher than Iran's previous missile and drone attacks in April, indicating a possible focus on Tehran's nuclear or oil infrastructure. Other experts suggested that the United States should intervene to limit Israel's reaction in order to prevent a potential regional conflict in the Middle East. Biden reaffirmed his intention to communicate with Israel, including Netanyahu, regarding its proposed attack on Iran, citing that Tehran's actions have strayed significantly from expected behavior. 

He stated that discussions would be held with Israeli officials regarding their intended course of action, with all seven G7 nations concurring that Israel has the right to respond to Iran's missile attacks, emphasizing the need for a proportional response. Israeli authorities informed their US counterparts in Washington that they were still in the process of determining targets and the timing of their response. The recent escalation of tension in the Middle East, attributed to Iran's missile attack and Israel's offensive in Lebanon against Hezbollah, has put the Biden administration on high alert as they work towards brokering a ceasefire deal in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Israeli officials have indicated that potential targets of an Israeli response to Iran may include strategic infrastructure such as gas and oil rigs, as well as nuclear facilities. 

Axios reported that possible responses could include attacks on Iran's air defense systems and targeted killings. Should such a plan proceed, it has the potential to spark further conflict between the two nations and significantly damage the Iranian economy. On Wednesday, six medical professionals were casualties of two Israeli airstrikes in central Beirut. The attacks targeted a Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic rescue center, resulting in the destruction of the building, as reported by Lebanon's National News Agency. 

The apartment building in Bashoura neighbourhood was struck by a drone, near the Lebanese parliament, marking the closest Israeli strikes to the country's seat of government. Hezbollah conducted two drone attacks in central Israel on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, with no injuries reported. The IDF reported targeting two hostile aircraft, while a third aircraft landed in an open area near the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat Yam, as per The Times of Israel. Israel and Hezbollah have intensified their attacks on each other in response to Israel's ground offensive in Lebanon, which was prompted by the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a significant airstrike on the group's headquarters in Beirut the previous week.

 Earlier on Tuesday, eight Israeli soldiers lost their lives in Lebanon amid the ground offensive. Meanwhile, Israeli forces conducted a strike on a weapons storage facility in the Jableh countryside of Syria and additional targets in coastal cities in the western region of the country, as reported by the state media of Israel on Thursday, according to The Jerusalem Post.
