US President Joe Biden stated today that “nothing is going to happen” on Thursday regarding an Israeli response to Iran, following the Islamic Republic’s missile attack on Israel earlier in the week. Speaking at a brief press conference before departing the White House for a trip to the southern US, Biden dismissed the likelihood of any immediate military action.
“Nothing is going to happen today (Thursday),” Biden said in response to a question about the potential for an Israeli strike against Iran.
However, Biden did confirm that “discussions” are ongoing regarding the matter. When asked if he agreed with such strikes on Iran’s oil infrastructure, the president acknowledged that the matter is under consideration.
