Biden Opposes Israeli Strike on Iran Amid G7 Discussions

President Joe Biden firmly rejected the idea of supporting an Israeli strike on Iran in response to Iran's missile attack on Israel. During discussions with G7 leaders, Biden emphasized solidarity with Israel while also advocating restraint. The G7 is preparing new sanctions against Iran following the attack.

President Joe Biden has stated he will not endorse an Israeli strike on Tehran's nuclear-related sites in retaliation for Iran's recent missile attack on Israel.

In a statement, Biden firmly said, "The answer is no," when questioned about supporting Israeli retaliation after Iran launched approximately 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday.

The announcement followed a phone call among G7 leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom discussing coordinated sanctions against Iran. The White House released a statement condemning Iran's attack and reaffirmed U.S. solidarity with Israel.
