Israel will respond to Iranian attack
Israel will respond to the Iranian attack that took place on the night of April 14, but the extent of the Israeli response has not yet been determined. At the same time, the United States does not plan to participate, report CNN and The Guardian.
An unnamed Israeli official told CNN that Israel has yet to determine whether to "break all the dishes" or do something more measured.
At the same time, the CNN source added that options for responding to the Iranian attack are likely to be discussed in detail during a meeting of the Israeli military cabinet on Sunday, April 14.
The United States will not participate in the response
At the same time, The Guardian reports that the United States does not plan to participate in Israel's response to the Iranian attack. White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that President Joe Biden had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about this.
"The president - almost everything he’s been doing since the beginning since October 7 has been to try to de-escalate, to try to limit the opportunities here for a broader regional war," Kirby said.
