US President Joe Biden is anticipated to engage in discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, with the agenda likely to encompass potential strategies regarding military action against Iran, as indicated by a source familiar with the situation.
Tensions in the Middle East have heightened as Israel prepares to respond to a missile strike launched by Iran last week, which was executed in retaliation for Israel’s increased military activities in Lebanon. Although the Iranian assault did not result in any casualties in Israel, it was deemed ineffective by Washington. Netanyahu has asserted that Iran, Israel’s longstanding adversary, will face consequences for its missile attack, while Tehran has warned that any retaliatory measures would lead to significant destruction, intensifying concerns about the possibility of a broader conflict in the oil-rich region that could involve the United States.
