US says Israeli strikes on Iran should complete exchange of fire
Warns against retaliation
Israeli strike on Iran
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct 26 (AP/UNB) — The White House indicated that Israel's strikes on Iran should end direct exchange of fire between the two enemy countries, while warning Tehran of “consequences” should it respond.
A senior White House official said, the administration believed the Israeli operation should “close out” the direct military exchange between Israel and Iran, and said other allies were in agreement.
United States President Joe Biden was updated throughout the day on Friday as the operation was developing and by his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, as the operation was carried out by the Israelis, the official said.
The official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House, said, the Israeli operation “was extensive, it was targeted, it was precise.” The official underscored that the U.S. had no involvement in the strike.
