Israel Tells U.S. It Won't Hit Iran's Oil or Nuclear Sites in Next Attack, Officials Say
Briefly

The Israeli government has communicated to the Biden administration its intention to avoid targeting nuclear enrichment and oil production sites in its response to Iran's missile attack. This decision aims to mitigate the risk of escalating conflict into an all-out war while both nations remain locked in a shadow war. Israel is concentrating on military targets instead, though this approach may not prevent future operations against more significant Iranian interests.
While Israeli officials reassured that the upcoming retaliation would not focus on oil or uranium targets, they acknowledged that these pledges pertain only to the next attack. Thus, it remains possible that Israel could engage in more extensive campaigns later, continuing the cycle of conflict that has intensified following the war with Hamas, complicating the fragile balance in the Middle East.
