A senior official in the Biden administration told the NBC network that US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their telephone conversation that while the American commitment to defend Israel is an ironclad commitment, the United States will not participate in offensive actions against Iran.
According to the official, Israel should "take the win" of its successful interception of 99% of the drones and missiles launched by Iran rather than retaliate.
Separately, National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby was interviewed on NBC's 'Meet the Press' program. When asked if the Iranian attack could or has led to a wider regional war, he responded, "I don't think there's any reason that it needs to."
"The President doesn't believe that it needs to move in that direction whatsoever," he continued. "What Israel demonstrated last night was an incredible ability to defend itself. Just their own military superiority was quite remarkable yesterday."
He added, "Israel demonstrated again that they're not standing alone, that they have friends."
"The President's been clear: We don't want to see this escalate, we're not looking for a wider war with Iran," he said.
