‘I’d be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields,’ US President on how Israel should strike Iran
Earlier on Friday, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) reported that they had eliminated over 2,000 military targets and approximately 250 Hezbollah militants in the past four days.
Washington DC: US President Joe Biden, speaking on the Israel-Iran conflict, remarked that if he were in Israel’s position, he would explore choices to targeting oil fields. Biden noted that Israeli authorities are still allowing for his or her approach regarding potential strikes. He stated, “The Israelis haven't yet made up our minds on the specifics of their response. If I were of their position, I may explore choices to targeting oil fields.”
While defending Israel’s right to reply to attacks, Biden stressed the importance of caution regarding civilian casualties. He stated, “What I know is that the plan I proposed has received toughen from the UN Security Council and nearly all of our global allies as a means to get to the bottom of this conflict. Israel has every right to defend itself against vicious attacks, not just from Iran, but also from Hezbollah and the Houthis. However it, they be significantly more cautious about civilian casualties.”
Biden, addressing efforts to stop a broader conflict contained in the Middle East, emphasized the U.S.’s active role but admitted the complexities involved, specially caused by challenges posed by groups equivalent to Hezbollah. ‘We are doing a lot. The primary focal point is rallying global allies, like the French in Lebanon, to de-escalate the situation. But when dealing with irrational proxies equivalent to Hezbollah and the Houthis, it’s not easy to establish definitely the right plan of action.’
Earlier on Friday, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) reported that they'd eliminated over 2,000 militia targets and approximately 250 Hezbollah militants contained at some point of the past four days.
