Mr. Biden discusses the possibility of Israel's attack on Iran's petroleum facilities.

President Joe Biden stated that there is a discussion about Israel's potential attack on Iran's petroleum facilities as retaliation for Iran's missile attack.

This brief comment was made after being asked by reporters at the White House whether they support Israel's attack on Iran's petroleum facilities.

Despite Iran's warning that they will face 'unconventional retaliation' targeting Israel's infrastructure if Israel attacks, this statement was made.

Following Mr. Biden's remarks, crude oil prices surged, with WTI crude oil in the USA rising by 5%, then fluctuating around $73 per barrel after reducing some of the gains, while the international benchmark Brent crude oil rose by about 4% to $76.81.

Prior to this, Mr. Biden stated that he does not expect Israel to attack Iran today.
