Israel has not yet made a decision on how to respond to Iran's recent ballistic missile attack, as confirmed by a US official familiar with the matter. Both Israeli and American officials are engaged in ongoing discussions regarding a potential response to the attack that occurred on Tuesday. However, the United States understands that Israel is still in the process of determining its next steps.
President Biden mentioned on Thursday that there have been talks about targeting Iranian oil reserves as a possible response to the attack. Despite this discussion, he did not explicitly endorse this option, stating, 'We're in discussions of that. I think that would be a little — anyway ... There's nothing going to happen today, we'll talk about that later.'
Following these comments, there was a notable increase in the price of oil in anticipation of a potential attack on Iranian energy facilities. The official emphasized the need to avoid speculation regarding Israel's potential targets, including oil facilities, as the country's leadership has not yet finalized a course of action.
