US President Joe Biden has voiced opposition to any Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in retaliation for Tehran’s missile attack on Israel, calling for a proportional response instead. Biden acknowledged Israel’s right to defend itself but urged restraint, stating, “We’ll be discussing with the Israelis what they’re going to do, but all seven of us (G7 leaders) agree that they have a right to respond, but they should respond proportionally.” the Israel based news outlet The Times of Israel reported.
The remarks come after Iran launched 180 ballistic missiles at Israel, its second assault since April. Biden also mentioned that sanctions would be imposed on Iran, following discussions with G7 leaders. “Iran is way off course,” Biden added before boarding Air Force One.
