Biden opposes potential ******** strikes on Iranian nuclear sites

US President Joe Biden has said he does not support any potential ******** retaliatory strike on Iranian nuclear sites after Iran launched around 180 missiles at *******.

Tensions are high between Iran and ******* after the Iranian ******* on Tuesday, which ******* said was mostly repelled by its missile defense system.

Iran said the barrage was a response to the killings of ****** political leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Brig-Gen Abbas Nilforoushan.

Its ******* also came after ******* announced a ground ******** into Lebanon, in an effort to dismantle what it called Iran-backed Hezbollah’s “********** infrastructure” in border villages.

The US has repeatedly called for de-escalation and has also led long-running negotiations on a ceasefire between ******* and ************ armed group ****** in Gaza but so far without success.

Biden’s comment to reporters on Wednesday came during a trip to tour hurricane damage in North Carolina with Vice-President Kamala Harris.

“Would you support an ******* on Iran’s nuclear sites by *******?” Biden was asked by a reporter.

“The answer is no,” he responded.

He added that the US “will be discussing with the Israelis what they’re gonna do”.

He also said that he had consulted with the leaders of other G7 countries and they all agree that ******* “has the right to respond, but they should respond proportionally”.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, at a briefing, added: “It’s clear that this was an unprecedented escalation by Iran.

“******* has the right to respond to it. We’re having discussions about what that response will be”.

So far, the White House has given no public indication of how it believes ******* should respond to Iran’s *******.

In a video message on Tuesday, Biden said that at his direction, US military forces in the region had helped ****** down the missiles fired from Iran.

He said the Iranian ******* had been “defeated and ineffective”, calling it “a testament to intensive planning between the ******* States and ******* to anticipate and defend against the brazen ******* we expected.”

“Make no mistake, the ******* States is fully, fully, fully supportive of *******,” Biden added.
