The Israeli government is weighing several options, including attacks on Iranian missile sites or oil infrastructure.
The Israel Defense Forces are not planning strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, but are considering other options to respond to an Iranian missile attack, the Financial Times reports.
The United States and Western allies are trying to limit Israel’s response to the Iranian attack, hoping to prevent the regional conflict from spiraling out of control. Washington has signaled that it supports Israel’s right to respond, but US officials acknowledge that their influence on Israel may be limited.
Israel is weighing several options for responding to Iran, including attacks on missile sites or oil infrastructure. Some Israeli officials have called for strikes on its nuclear facilities, although a person familiar with the matter said that option was not being considered. US President Joe Biden also said he was against such a response.
Western officials note that Israel is becoming more confident and emboldened after the removal of Hezbollah’s leadership. The Israeli government may be willing to suffer military and political losses if it means achieving a strategic victory over Iran.
As we have already written, on October 1, Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. Iran claimed that 90% of the missiles successfully hit their targets. At the same time, according to the IDF, most of them were intercepted by air defense forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised a response to Iran.
