Following the recent ballistic missile attacks on Tel Aviv by Iran, Israel is contemplating a response that could have significant repercussions for the region. President Joe Biden has urged Israel to exercise restraint and ensure that any retaliation is measured and proportional.
Former deputy director of national intelligence Kash Patel criticized Biden's stance, arguing that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian aggression. There are discussions about potentially targeting Iran's energy facilities as part of Israel's response, although such deliberations have caused uncertainty in the oil markets.
