WASHINGTON, USA – US President Joe Biden is expected to hold a phone call on Wednesday, October 9, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about any plans to strike Iran, Axios reported late on Tuesday, citing three U.S. officials. Netanyahu has promised that arch foe Iran would pay for its missile attack, while Tehran has said any retaliation would be met with “vast destruction,” raising fears of a wider war in the oil-producing region which could draw in the United States.Biden said last Friday that he would think about alternatives to striking Iranian oil fields if he were in Israel’s shoes, adding he thought Israel had not concluded how to respond to Iran.
Israel says it is defending itself after Hamas militants attack southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 and taking 250 hostages according to Israeli tallies, and other militants like Hezbollah who support Hamas.
