US officials say Israel will target only military sites in Iran in any future attack

The Israeli government has informed the Biden administration that it will refrain from targeting nuclear enrichment sites in the event of a retaliation against Iran. This move is expected to reduce the likelihood of an immediate all-out war between Israel and Iran. Israeli and US officials have been in regular contact, debating the best course of action to respond to Iran's October 1 ballistic missile salvo. However, the Israeli government has maintained that it will decide unilaterally on the form of any retaliation. The comments from Netanyahu's office come after reports emerged that the Israeli prime minister had assured US President Joe Biden that Israel would not attack sites associated with Iran's nuclear program or oilfields prior to the US presidential election.
