U.S. officials say Israel has narrowed down its targets for strike on Iran

U.S. officials believe Israel is narrowing down its response to Iran’s attack on military and energy infrastructure, rather than nuclear facilities or assassinations. The region is on edge awaiting Israel’s retaliation to Iran’s missile barrage. The U.S. is prepared to defend its assets but may not provide direct military support. Israel has shared some details with the U.S. about the retaliation but kept many details secret for security reasons. President Biden urged Netanyahu to focus on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon. Israel is urged to keep its response proportional and focus on military targets. The timing of Israel’s response is uncertain, but it could come during the Yom Kippur holiday.
