The United States is currently deliberating potential military actions against Iran’s oil infrastructure in response to a missile attack on Israel attributed to Tehran, as stated by President Joe Biden on Thursday. Concurrently, Israel’s military has intensified its operations, launching new airstrikes in Beirut as part of its ongoing conflict with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. In light of Iran’s unprecedented assault on Israel earlier this week, Biden was questioned about the possibility of endorsing Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities. He confirmed that such discussions are indeed taking place, which subsequently led to a spike in global oil prices, as traders express concerns over possible disruptions in supply amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. However, Biden clarified that no immediate actions are anticipated, emphasizing that he would not support any Israeli military operations targeting Iran’s nuclear installations.
