Israel ‘plans’ to hit Iran’s nukes, Biden says response should be proportionate

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday (local time) said he was against Israel over its reported plan to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to Tehran’s missile attacks on the Jewish nation and stressed that Tel Aviv should act “proportionately”.
Reacting to reports on Israel’s plan to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities and oil rigs in response to Tuesday’s attacks on the Jewish nation, Biden said that Israel had a right to defend itself, but it should do so “proportionately”, The Times of Israel reported. He also spoke to G7 leaders over the possibility of imposing new sanctions on Tehran.
Following the G7 meeting that was held over a phone call, the White House said Biden had coordinated the multilateral rollout of the new sanctions against Iran. The G7 leaders, including Biden, “unequivocally condemned Iran’s attack against Israel”, which marked a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
