President Joe Biden said he would not support strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities by Israel even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to retaliate against Tehran for the ballistic attacks that were largely repelled on Tuesday.
Asked on Wednesday whether he would endorse Israel going after Iranian facilities as he boarded Air Force One, Biden told reporters: “The answer is no.”
He also reiterated what he described as “full solidarity and support to Israel and its people” on the part of the United States.

During a briefing on hurricane relief on Tuesday, Biden said the successful repulsion of the Iranian attack had been a “testament to Israeli military capability and the US military” and “a testament to intensive planning between the United States and Israel to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack we expected.”

He also said he would be talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at some point, with the message he would deliver to the longtime Israeli leader depending “on what we finally conclude is needed.”
