Reacting to news about Israel's preparations to target Iran's nuclear facilities and oil rigs in reaction to Tuesday's strikes on the Jewish nation, Biden said that israel has a right to defend itself, but it should do so "proportionately", The Times of israel reported. He also discussed the prospect of putting further sanctions on Tehran with the leaders of the G7.
• Experts predict that israel will react more forcefully than it did when iran fired missiles and drones at the Jewish state in April, raising the possibility that Tehran's nuclear or oil installations may be the target this time. According to some analysts, the US need to try to moderate Israel's response in an effort to prevent a Middle east regional conflict.
• A person in Washington aware with the negotiations claimed that Israeli officials informed their US colleagues that they were still finalizing the timing and targets for a response to Iran's missile assaults, according to news agency Reuters.
