For the first time in two months, President Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on a phone call, addressing Israel's planned retaliation against Iran.
The recent conversation comes amidst the worst relationship between the U.S. and Israel in years, highlighting tensions over Iran's missile attacks and potential military response.
U.S. national security officials alerted President Biden that while Khamenei does not seek war, an Israeli attack on Iranian sites could lead to uncontrolled escalation.
Biden's advisers have been reticent about detailing the conversation with Netanyahu, particularly concerning the demand to refrain from striking Iran's nuclear sites.
