Netanyahu confirms goals of attack on Iran
Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed some of the targets of Israel's retaliatory attack on Iran.
According to an Israeli official, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has considered and approved targets in response to Iran's attacks on the country in early October, but has not yet provided details of these targets or the exact timing of the attacks.
Netanyahu's confirmation of these targets comes at a time when the US government expects Israel to carry out its retaliatory attack on Iran before November 5, the time of the US presidential election. However, discussions about these attacks, their timing and dimensions, are still ongoing within the Israeli government.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, while emphasizing Israel's response to Iran, said: "Israel's response to Iran will be precise and painful, and opening new fronts and other wars is not in Tel Aviv's interest." In response to Gallant's statements, Iran, while threatening Israel again, announced that it would respond more strongly than the October 1 attack to any Israeli aggression.
Reports indicate that after US President Joe Biden asked Netanyahu to limit Israel's attacks on Iran, Israel is expected to limit the scope of its attacks to military bases only and refrain from attacking Iran's nuclear facilities and oil centers, as attacking these areas may ignite the flames of war.
These reports indicate that the Biden administration's confidence in the White House regarding Benjamin Netanyahu's words and promises has decreased, and there are concerns that the Israeli army will attack Iran's leadership, presidency, nuclear bases, and oil facilities, and that these retaliatory attacks will make it impossible to control the war.
Benjamin Netanyahu, while paying attention and respecting the White House's opinions, announced that he would not wait for a green light from the United States and would attack his desired targets in Iran at the appropriate time for his own national interests.
