Mr. Biden stated that he does not support Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

The response of Israel to Iran's missile attacks should be 'proportional,' according to the U.S. President.

President Joe Biden expressed his opposition to attacking Iran's nuclear facilities in retaliation to Tehran's missile attacks on Israel.

When asked by reporters on Wednesday if he supported such retaliation, Biden said, "The answer is no."

Biden's remarks were made the day after Iran launched about 180 ballistic missiles towards Israel. The recent attacks by Iran on Israeli military bases were carried out in response to the assassinations of key figures allied with Iran, such as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that although there were no serious casualties within Israel, Iran vowed to 'pay the price' for this attack, where one Palestinian was reported dead in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River.

Analysts have warned that Israel may take this opportunity to potentially attack Iran's long-targeted nuclear facilities as a response to the recent events.

The risk of Israel attacking Iran's nuclear development program is particularly high due to the fact that Hezbollah, Iran's defense shield, is weakened, as stated by Ali Vaez, Iran Project Director of the think tank International Crisis Group, in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"The US military is already stationed in this region to protect Israel, presenting a potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Israel to address the major threat it has perceived from Iran over the past few decades.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett clearly called for such an attack in a post to X, stating that Israel must 'act now to destroy Iran's nuclear program.'

"We have legitimate reasons. We have the tools," Bennett said.

Following the attack from Iran, Biden emphasized that the USA is "fully supporting Israel".

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller warned the press corps that Iran will face 'severe consequences'.

On Wednesday, after meeting with allied leaders, Biden stated that he does not support an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. He told the press that Israel's response to Iran should be 'proportionate'. This position is shared by all countries belonging to the G7, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The White House also stated that Biden and G7 leaders discussed coordinating new sanctions against Iran.

Iran's President Mahmood Peseshkian stated that this attack is justified, but Tehran does not seek war with Israel.

Iran's military warned of 'enormous destruction' if Israel retaliates.

As wars intensify in Gaza and Lebanon, escalating tensions between the two most powerful militaries in the Middle East raise concerns of wider conflicts in the region.

"The idea of Iran and Israel attacking each other with the support of the USA would ignite all people in the Middle East, as well as in other regions," says Al Jazeera's senior political analyst Marwan Bishara.
