Biden's office said that they understand that Israel is striking Iranian military targets.
US President Joe Biden called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to develop a retaliatory strike against Iran.
CNN reported this.
It is noted that such a strike would deter future attacks on Israel.
According to a White House official, this is supposedly a time when instability in the Middle East would be in the public eye several days before the US presidential election.
Biden spoke with Netanyahu on October 17 while en route to Germany.
“President Joe Biden discussed the overall situation with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Last week, he urged the prime minister to develop a response that would deter further attacks on Israel while reducing the risk of further escalation. And that is our goal. That is also Israel's goal,” the official said.
Recall that the Biden administration said it understands that Israel is striking Iranian military targets.
