Israel has stated that it will take into consideration the opinions of the United States but ultimately make decisions regarding its response to Iran's October 1 attack based on its own national interests. This comes after reports surfaced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US President Joe Biden that Israel might refrain from targeting Iranian nuclear and oil sites.
Netanyahu's office responded to a Washington Post report by emphasizing that while they value US opinions, the final decisions will be guided by Israel's national interests. The Islamic Republic launched a missile attack on Israel on October 1 in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
