Biden Urges Proportional Response in Wake of Iran's Missile Attack on Israel

U.S. President Joe Biden stated that he does not support strikes on Iran's nuclear sites after its missile attack on Israel. Biden emphasized the importance of a proportional response and mentioned further sanctions on Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed retaliation for the missile strike.

U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he does not endorse strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in retaliation for its missile assault on Israel. Biden emphasized that discussions with Israeli officials would center on a proportional response, a stance supported by all G7 nations.

The statement follows Iran's launch of over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday, a move Biden labeled as "ineffective." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Iran will face consequences for the attack, with some analysts predicting a possible targeting of Iran's nuclear or oil infrastructure.

Biden also revealed plans for additional sanctions on Iran and confirmed that he would soon converse with Netanyahu. "Obviously, Iran is way off course," he told reporters before boarding Air Force One.
