Biden Opposes Israel Striking Iran’s Oil Fields

 

During the first Friday press conference of his presidency, President Joe Biden has indicated that he opposes any attacks on Iran’s oil fields, as a retaliatory strike by Israel appears imminent.

On Tuesday, Iran launched a missile attack deep into the heart of Israel in response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The Israel Defense Forces has promised to launch a “significant retaliation” inching the region closer to a full-scale war between Israel and Iran.

“The Israelis have not concluded what they are going to do. That’s under discussion. If I were in their shoes, I would be thinking about other alternatives than striking Iranian oil fields,” Biden said in a press conference at the White House.
