Israel delays strike on Iran in response to Biden’s calls and US concerns

Israel’s Plans for Strike on Iran Postponed

Israel’s plans for a strike on Iran on Monday, April 15, are being postponed according to reports from Axios.

According to the reports, Israel had promised to respond to an unprecedented missile attack by Iran using drones. However, the Israeli White House warned that an escalation of the conflict with Iran would not be in the interests of the US and Israel. In particular, the Biden administration urged Israel to «act cautiously» in response.

Sources claim that the US is concerned that further reaction could lead to a worsening of the situation in the region. «We’re not sure how close this was to an actual attack,» said a US official.

Other sources claim that Israel has informed the Biden administration that it has decided to delay its response.

A third source stated that a «small strike by Israel» inside Iran is likely to provoke a response. However, the Biden administration hopes that it will be less severe.

It is important to note that this is the second time Israel has postponed its decision on responding to Iran.

Regarding the shelling of Israel, it is worth mentioning that Iranian military forces carried out a massive attack on Israel in the night of April 13 to 14. Over 300 drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles were involved in this attack.

The Iranian authorities claim that their actions were in response to an Israeli strike on a consulate in Syria, where one of Iran’s senior generals was eliminated.
