Biden claims to have ‘good idea’ of when, how Israel will respond to Iranian attack Anyone who predicts Israel’s response to the Iranian assault, according to Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Aragchi, “will be held accountable.”
Biden claims to have ‘good idea’ of when, how Israel will respond to Iranian attack According to US President Joe Biden, he knows exactly when and how Israel would react to Iran’s missile launch on October 1.
When questioned by the media, Biden refused to provide any information about the nature of the Israeli reaction, although his comments indicated the US has a notion of what it will be.
For the past two weeks, Israeli officials have been debating how to react to Iran’s onslaught, which included some 200 ballistic missiles.
Although Biden told reporters that he opposed Israel hitting Iranian nuclear or oil sites, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initially wanted to speak with Biden before reacting to the attack, according to the Times of Israel.
The US has sent a THAAD air defense battery to Israel since a phone conversation between Biden and Netanyahu on October 10 in case Iran retaliates to an Israeli attack.
Israel has since asked for a second THAAD battery, which includes six truck-mounted launchers, 48 interceptors, radio and radar equipment, and 95 troops to operate, according to Israeli Channel 12 TV.
According to the Times of Israel, an Israeli official stated that after the death of Hamas commander Yahya Sinwar, Israel’s plans for reacting to Iran’s attack have not altered.
According to Israeli media, some analysts have conjectured that Israel would soften its stance toward Iran in return for more favorable conditions for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas and Hezbollah.
