U.S. officials believe Israel is planning to target Iranian military and energy infrastructure in response to Iran’s attack, ruling out assassinations and nuclear facilities. The timeline of Israel’s response remains unclear, but the military is prepared to act at any time. The U.S. has urged Israel to keep their response proportional and focus on military targets to avoid escalation. President Biden stressed the importance of considering the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the challenges of engaging in a war on multiple fronts. The U.S. is prepared to defend its assets in the region but is unlikely to provide direct military support to Israel’s operation. Israel has shared some information about their retaliation with the U.S., but many details are being withheld for security reasons. Both countries are working closely to monitor the situation and coordinate their responses. Both countries are focused on preventing further escalation and maintaining stability in the region.
