The White House has said that Israel’s overnight strikes on Iran should end direct exchanges of fire between the two countries, while also warning Tehran of “consequences” should it respond, reports Al Jazeera.
A senior White House official said the Biden administration believed the Israeli operation should “close out” the direct military exchange between Israel and Iran.
US President Joe Biden was updated as the Israeli operation was developing and as the attacks were carried out by the Israelis, the official added.
The official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity, said the US had no involvement in the strike.
