Iran launched 180 missiles at Israel last Tuesday. The country claims that 80 percent of its missiles hit Israel. Israel has issued a strong warning to retaliate against this surprise attack. The BBC says the Middle East is in a dangerous situation right now. Analysts fear that war may spread throughout the region at any time.
In the meantime, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran will pay a heavy price for this attack. However, Israel has not given any details about what kind of attack it will carry out.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden said he does not support Israel's retaliatory strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
He said the US would "discuss with the Israelis" what Israel is going to do in response to the Israeli attack on Iran.
Joe Biden visited North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helen on Wednesday. There, Biden was asked, if Israel now wants to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, will he support it?
Biden said that he spoke with the leaders of the G-7 alliance about the current situation. They all agreed that Israel had a right to respond.
In addition, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a briefing that Israel has the right to respond. We are discussing the possible response of the country.
On the other hand, last Tuesday night, the former Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett, said that this is the biggest opportunity to change the face of the Middle East in 50 years.
Israel should look to its nuclear infrastructure to seriously cripple Iran's terrorist regime, Bennett believes.
According to the BBC report, Joe Biden is signaling to Iran by sending more troops to the Mediterranean Sea that if Israel is hit, it will be considered a US hit.
